Nigel Colfer 180JZ Preview
Spent today shooting Nigel Colfer’s recently victorious 1JZ powered RPS13. I’m pretty happy with how it all went although we did spend over two hours searching for a location the results may just be worth it. Here’s a quick edit from the last shot of the day back at Nigel’s place. Now to finally start…

Team Nexen
Just finished quickly working over this shot of the two Team Nexen Ireland cars of Christy Carpenter and James Deane. It’s a simple enough composite, containing around five images. We only had time for one angle as the guy’s had to head to practice so I don’t think it came out too bad. I know…

Twenty Four Hours of Nürburgring
During the middle of May, I made my first pilgrimage to the 24 hours of Nürburging. The event which takes place on both the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix circuit (colloquially known as the ‘Behemoth’) puts drivers not just against each other but the course itself. The track stretches some 25+KMs through the Eifel region…

Carlow Stages / MK2 Escort Challenge
Ventured back onto the rally stage for the first time in over two years yesterday for the MK2 Escort Challenge which I was covering for Speedhunters.com. It was a great change of pace shooting on closed roads; I forgot how exciting it can be chasing stages, exploring the countryside to find a good spot, having…

Time Attack Round One, Oulton Park
I spent last weekend at Oulton Park, where I was present to cover the first round of the UK Time Attack Series. It was my first time shooting at Oulton and I found it a great venue to photograph at. The track was interesting with hills and crests, backdrop was varied, friendly staff and marshall’s…

Mazda FD3-S RX7
Spent most of yesterday shooting this beautifully understated RX7. The owner is a close friend of mine, so getting the most out of this shoot was top priority. This was my first shoot since October, so has been a while since I last got behind the lens. The colour was a challenge to shoot, not…

Shot these last year during a brief ten minute shoot and having previously only paid attention to posting one shot I’ve tried to put together a short series of shots with a more inline style of post work. Let me know your comments, good or bad ! More after the break

1300E by the Sea
Just before my laptop spontaneously combusted a couple of weeks ago, I shot my father’s Escort 1300 Executive. The shoot took place on a chilly winters morning by the seaside. It was a back to basics shoot for me; no lights, rig or tracking shots. Just the 5D2 and two lenses. More after the jump…

That isn’t a Canon. Also will be showing this full shoot of my father’s Escort 1300 Executive and will be writing…

5D MKII Video Test
[vimeo width=”800″ height=”450″]http://www.vimeo.com/7708565[/vimeo] Just quickly cut together the first video I’ve shot using the 5D MKII. Really impressed with the quality and the ease of use. Coming from a photography background it’s great to be able to just jump in and make moving picture with the same tools used for the still ones. No trying…

Meant to post these a while ago but have been quite busy. Plus the new site layout lends itself a lot better to larger images. Just like to wish Mark, Margaret & their son Séan all the best in the future. More images after the jump …

Branding: A New Road Safety Authority ?
For our final year project, we were given an open brief to tackle. We needed to create a client, a multi-discipline project and include a certain amount of social responsibility. It was the obvious choice for me to go with a motoring based project, but rather than create a new tuning company, I chose to…

Hope you all like the new look, you’ll have to bear with me over the next little while as I iron out any bugs that may pop up. I’ve retained all the content from the previous version along with a cleaner look, the ability to post larger images and also using the new PMCG logo.…

The Second Crossing …
Rather unusual for me, but this evening I went out, stopped down the aperture and tried my hand at some landscape photography. The focus of my attentions was on the new bridge (unnamed as far as I’m aware) that crosses the river suir, just west of the city. At over 460 metres long, it’s currently…
