Another horrible day today, to add to the long list of horrible summer's days in 2007. We were going to go to the cinema but couldn't be bothered leaving the flat, so I had a practise with my silver umbrella. This is shot at f1.8 to narrow down the depth of field.

Bracknell with a 50mm

I thought I'd have a go at copying Dan Barham's desaturated steez. I like it. I spent both days last weekend in Bracknell, well, actually most of Saturday was spent in the bike shop while Mark scrabbled around trying to find enough pennies to buy his new Orange 5.

More velodrome action

This was probably the hottest day of the year. I'm so glad I wasn't racing — 25miles equates to 84 laps around Herne Hill. You could tell the riders were bored to tears. Still, it was a good opportunity for me to shoot some pics.

Dungeness

Such a strange, eerie place...

Le Tour en Angleterre

This weekend the tour was in London and it was absolutely amazing. I was fully expecting myself to be a miserable old sod and dismiss it as "just a load of old druggies" and do my best to ignore it. But Andy Knowles wanted to go and watch it so I got involved and once I got there, the atmosphere was incredible — London really put on a spectacle. I got some pictures in the warm-up area as well as round by Big Ben — just about the only area you could get near the barriers (people were five deep most of the way round the course).
