    During the down time between the ITCC sessions at Kirkistown yesterday, I spent some time scouting out photo-locations and trying different lenses and settings to get the best for the Irish touring cars. One of those sessions I used for some trial and error testing was the Formula Libre class which is an open class…

    In anticipation of the impending ADAC 24HR Nurburgring at the end of June, I’ve been digging through last years photographs from the event and dug out these shots which previously have never been published (well, some of them anyway). The photographs were taken on the Sunday morning of what is surely the most challenging twenty…

Some 45,000 photographs at near 600GBs, 22 events, 4 weddings, 200+ stories published, 25,000 miles, 5 countries and that…
