With the Backfastslide in the bag Dan started to experiment with switches and came out with this crazy extended rocket fish. Lit with two Canon 540EZ's both off to my left with diffusers and captured with my Sigma 10mm fisheye lense

The other week I was surprised by a phone call from Saffron Walden's ripper and good friend Dan Ives, this initial surprise was surpassed by the shock of learning he was now residing in Brighton and was coming back for a few days and wanted to skate n get some deal done. This was one of the shots I got of Dan having a session on the most awaked part of the park at Cambridge's Orchard Park skatepark. I shot this trick a few times but with this angle choosing a more unconventional angle through two fences while trying to frame him within the diamond box created by the closer one. I captured this with my Nikkor 50mm and lit with two Canon 540EZ's off to my right set at 1/2th power through diffusers. I've recently been looking into presets you can download for Lightroom and generally experimenting with the program, as a left over image from the shoot I choose to test out a preset I found called . After fiddling with the settings a little I settled with this for the final image.

Pre-Aussie Rolling Open session
Alex is down in Melbourne for the 2009 Australian Rolling Open with the Valo team.
The session ended up in Park street car park as I did have a planned shot of Luke and sure enough he produced the goods, this time a cross grabbed Fishbrain. Lit up with two Canon 540EZ's with diffusers, both set at 1/16 the power with one to the right and on to the left and captured with my Nikon 50mm.

Los Angeles, CA. I was enlisted to work with ONE Magazine to shoot Montre, who they were flying out to LA to shoot 7 days with him. Wes Driver was the main photographer (and the magazine's art director), capturing it in medium format film, while I shot Montre in digital. The photo was featured in print issue #21 as part of an ad for the 7 day VOD section going up soon.
With just enough time to fit in one more cheeky shoot I could help but get myself up to Manchester to meet up with Elliot. Once we hooked up in town and after grabbing some grub we headed out to a housing estate just out of town. The location was a good shout as there was a few really great spots. This short triple kink was the obvious first choice and we were educated upon its history by the fella at number 46. Only one person on a bike had done it all it way according to him. Elliot came through with a Topsoul followed by a sick Fishbrain to become the second person to conquer this beast. This delighted Elliot's own personal cheer leading squad that was made up of a selection of the estates cheekiest twelve to fourteen year olds.

We found this abandoned factory building in Switzerland. To take a good shot we had to carry up the wood and the rail to the second floor because the groundfloor was covered with water. At least it was worth the work and we got some nice shots including this True Fishbrain.
Strobist: One Canon Speedlitze 540ez left farther behind the skater and one left in front of the skater. A AB800 to light the spot. Triggered with Cyber Sync gear.
On a dull but dry Tuesday me and Dan hooked up for the second shoot for his Wheel Scene profile. We headed straight into central to what was the freshest and most interesting spot of all of his spots selected. We both had a bad feeling that it could be a bust but Twenty minutes after getting there this snap of Dan lacing a perfect Fishbrain around the ledge was captured. A perfect start to the days shooting..

With one in the bag we moved on into town only to find that the spot in mind was nowhere near as long as first thought. The Crisis was averted after me and Dan had a brain storm and came up with this sweet little deal that only proves that there is something to be had nearly everywhere.

What started as a planned one day trip up to Macclesfield developed into me staying for four, as per-bloody usual. Me and Kate headed out for a evening session on the thursday at the very cool Westfield park. Kate insisted it was shit, then we had a awesome session as she laced countless new tricks on both the Grind box and mini. I managed to capture her lacing this sweet Fishbrain on the mini and although the flash I had set up on the left didn't fire I quite like the outcome.

With the cold now starting to get to me we agreed to get one more shot then call it a day. Aaron had his eye on a nice marble ledge we had walked past while it was raining so we revisited it and got to work on getting a shot there. Fishbrain was the trick and after a little waxing and a few attempts the trick was laced..in a vest!
