Today I started off with the 50’s men, juniors and women. It was great to see the juniors attacking each other and the 50’s men closing the gaps and bring it back together. After the initial flurry of attacks it settled down and this is when I decided to wait for the Open Men and […]
It was the Forties group who got my attention on Stage 4. I picked the group up as they crossed the river Kwai. I had planned a few shots to capture the riders crossing the river but the sun gods were against me and I was unable to get the shot. I was surprised by […]
Stage 3 was always going to be a big day in the saddle for the riders as it was the longest stage and had a lot of climbing along the out-and-back route. My plan was to head out with the Open men to the top of the big climb and then follow the thirties men […]

This barren piece of land offers no protection from the sun and the sea breezes. I ventured out there today to capture some of the action. The course was a hotdog circuit with […]
After a full-on week in Thailand shooting cyclists and then my relocation to the UK, I hadn’t touched my camera for two weeks. Some friends were having a friendly, but very competitive, game of cricket at Regents Park and I thought I’d try and get a few shots of some Sports action London-style! Although I […]
