So it's been around three months since I've written anything here and I've been pretty anonymous, aside from the odd racing image. It's been a busy time, but now we only have two rounds of the British Superbike Championship remaining and (after shooting up and down the country) I'm actually looking forward to the rest. Fourteen race weekends covered and two to go.

I've uploaded a few pictures from the last few races but if you want to see more...

Well, I'm now a married man after getting hitched on 31st May. All went well, which was a good result! The following two weeks were spent in Japan on our honeymoon but when we got back and I had to head straight to Snetterton to cover the British Superbike round. Then, this weekend was MotoGP at Donington Park. Once again the British weather rewarded me with sunburn and a soaking in the same weekend!

Anyway, I'll post the odd one on here but if you want to see the MotoGP galleries have a look at them here:

Things are hectic at the moment. In two weeks I get married and we're mid-way through the bike racing season. It adds up to me only having one weekend at home in a period of nine weeks. Keeps me out of trouble anyway...

Last weekend was the re-scheduled Brands Hatch British Superbike round. As usual I'll post one or two shots on here as time permits, but if you're really interested you can see the full gallery here: www.motorbikesport.co.uk/pictu…

Also, I know some of you guys are bikers so how do you fancy winning an OptiMate battery charger? Have a look here:

Well, the new British Superbike season is upon us. Sort of.

Brands Hatch was the venue for the opening round and Friday and Saturday practice/qualifying went well. Sunday morning appeared and we were greeted with a couple of inches of snow with no sign of it relenting. So, the racing was (sensibly) cancelled and a new date was penned.

I've procured another Canon 1D MkII over the winter, which is proving handy when quickly wanting to switch between focal lengths. The 300mm f2.8 stays on one and the 70-200mm f2.8 on the other. It also gives me a spare in case anything untoward happens to a body. The 5D with 24-105mm continues to provide an excellent source of paddock, pitlane and scenic shots. My partner in crime (read: other half) has grabbed a 40D and 200mm f2.8 to go with the 24-70mm f2.8. Add a couple of laptops and it's a lot of kit to drag across the snow...!

I'll post a couple of shots here when I find time. In the meantime, if you're interested, you can find the full gallery here: www.motorbikesport.co.uk/pictu…

Well, it's been a long winter for us bike-racing-sports-shooter type people. Whilst I could do with expanding my portfolio I find myself unimpressed with the idea of getting up a 4am to trudge to the top of a hill on the basis that a decent sunrise might appear for four seconds. Nor do I fancy sitting in a soggy field for three hours on the basis that a badger might make an appearance. Full respect to those with more patience (and dedication) than me though.

Anyway, our motorbike racing website has undergone a vast transformation over the winter www.motorbikesport.co.uk . Well, today we've also launched a forum for people to chat about motorbikes... or films, or whatever you want really. Feel free to check it out and say hi: www.motorbikesport.co.uk/forum…
