Long Time No Camera

A couple of weeks ago, all my Nikon's got sent away. So I've been left without a camera, which has felt like months not weeks. Then Finally this week the new Canon 7D come through the door. Happy with it so far, but going to a local track this weekend, where my bro's are racing to give it a real test.

The reason I made the switch is because canon is way better on the video side, which is what I'm mainly doing, so before I invested in really expensive nikon lenses I thought I'd which over to canon.

So look out the Video from Wooley Grange   

That's the 7D, running the Chris Shallcross support sticker. He was at Preston Docks a month or so ago, had a big crash and ended up in a coma. So Jack Drogan from Merge decals is selling hub stickers, all money goes to him and his family. Get Well Soon Chris. 

  

Finningley BYMX

Well this weekend was the 2nd round of the BYMX and was my first video for MOTO Mag, all in all I was pretty excited for it. So with the weather similar to California, me and the trusty old fiesta with a full tank of fuel set off. It was a nice journey down, 2 1/2 hours with some good tunes on and windows down made it feel half that. Once I got there the pimp tent was set up, air bed was blown up, the on suite shower, full kitchen with soft closing doors, leather recliner and massage bench was all fixed up, I was ready to go. 

There's my 5 star luxury for the weekend.  


Saturday morning, got up at a descent time a nice redbull for breaky. Filmed most of the day. One thing pissed me off alot that really should of even been happening, other photographers walking straight past my camera when I was filming, it just so happen to be when the leaders of the race when coming around, there where 3-4 clips that probably would made the video if someone hadn't walk in front of my camera, I mean fair enough if it was first aid or marshalls that didnt really know or had to get somewhere quick, but other media? They should know. So instead of packing a tripod I think I will take a baseball bat next time. Thats my rant over. Later on after my lobster for tea I was chilling, I Interviewed Brad Todd (the real Ronny Mac) then we did some gooning in forest on BMX's, it was pritty funny. Thinking of whipping up a little video of it. Once we where all gooned out we borrowed a dodgy DVD called the mechanic, was a good film.

Thats saturday over, Sunday was much the same really. Just filming and watching some sweet racing. My dad and bother come down to do the 2 stroke races. With the day over, got plenty of footage and even got sunburnt wowww. It was time to head home and start editting. 


I've had some good feedback and some tips for when I'm next filming and editting, so here it is the video from the weekend. I cant wait for the next round in Duns.

The Round 2 Weekend.

Busy weekend for me, Great Salkeld Saturday then Brampton Sunday both days Filming. I'm trying to get in as much practice as I can and trying out a few new things in my editing. The weather was fairly nice for a change, so I thought I get the GoPro out and tested. I asked Carlton Husband to pilot it for a couple of laps in practice for me. Once I got back on the Saturday Night, started watching it, I had it set too low which I was annoyed about. So on Sunday at Brampton we did it again I set it abit higher, still a little low but passable I think, so here it is 2 laps around Brampton with Carlton Husband.
