Moon at 600mm
Just received my new sigma APO 2x EX DG teleconvertor, so as a quick test i took an image of the moon at 300mm x2, 600mm. I thought I would post the result up here. The image is the full DX frame but scaled down to fit on the web, this is the 400 x 266 image rather than the original 4288 x 2848. The sigma teleconvertor is, on first inspection, a great piece of kit, well worth the money.
Tornado over Guisborough (Videos)
Wow, I've just seen a tornado on my way home from work. I was driving over towards Guisborough hall and it was almost directly in front of me above Guisborough woods. This took place at approximately 17:40. The spectacle was absolutely amazing, at first I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, but when I realised it was a tornado I couldn't help but get some footage. I can see why storm chasers get a buzz.
I was very careful and acquired 2 videos. I guess this was a case of right place right time.
MSA British Touring Cars - Croft (Photos)
Its been a long time coming, an update to this site. Certain things have stopped me getting out and about. Generally speaking, two things, a f*^king idiot (some people know what I mean) and secondly my beautiful baby daughter was born late February (I've been blessed with an absolute gem).
Anyway, we got to croft and all in all it was a good day out. Weather great till the last touring car race to which it turned torrential. Anyway, the photos.

Another great and enjoyable rally, this time over at the lake district. Weather was absolutely spot on. Not only was the racing superb the conditions of the day gave me a chance to do some landscape photography as well. So, overall, spot on!
