The series of panning shots I have of the 930 Turbo on the move are simply awesome, most definitely one of my favourite panning shoots to date, if you were to meet my colleague Makoto who's driving you could still see the massive smile when we talk about that day.

Here you can see Makoto behind the wheel while I've taken over the passenger seat in Ron's Carerra which we used as the camera car for these rolling shots.

Score Bay, Isle of Skye

With us having our holiday in May booked on the Isle of Skye, this time with my mum and Mireille's mum and dad it's got me planning the daily adventures we're going to get up to.

As you can imagine it's got me looking through the images we've taken around the island in the last few years to finalise the plans.

You all know what it's like - outside is cold, wet, windy - lets just use the word "horrible".

It's times like this that get you thinking about warmer times, in my case today it took me back to the Isle of Lewis one of the islands which makes up Scotlands Outer Hebrides where Mireille and myself spent our summer holiday last year.

I revisited the folder of images from Lewis and decided to re-process a few of them for fun - this capture of the sky and clouds reflections on the almost mirror-like surface of Loch Ahmastar.

This little guy would have happily gone about his daily business without ever being photographed had he not moved while I was lining up a shot somewhere near Gascarnoch Dam in Scotland on our way towards Ullapool after leaving the Isle of Skye.

Shot is straight from cam with only a 50% crop used to give him a little more of the frame than the original uncropped image would have.

This was at full zoom of the R1 and with this little guy only being around 2cm in length I was actually amazed to get such a clear shot of him.

This shot took me a little while to set up exactly the way I wanted it - the lighting being the most time consuming as I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve and wasn't willing to move on before getting the shot in the bag.

It's by far one of my favourite black and white shots that I've ever taken and I think the patience paid off in the end.

This is one image from a shoot I did in California of this modified Porsche 930 Turbo.

Image was taken at one of the old derelict buildings left over from world war 2 at the Marin Headlands not far from the Golden Gate Bridge.

A recent rework of an old shot taken of the Renault Clio Sport 197 which was only just being released in the UK. I had the car for a number of days to write a test drive feature on it and shoot some pics for a UK car magazine and some local papers too.
