It's been a quiet couple of months on the blog. I've had my reasons, but just because i haven't been posting here it doesn't mean I've been slacking off. Quite the opposite, in fact. I've been shooting plenty, have notched up five or so covers (of which, more another time) and have plenty more still to come.
By way of proof, here's a few of my recently published pics. Think of them as visual hold music while I attempt to shuffle things back into an order that vaguely resembles normality...
Chris Smith samples the spring air. Client: Mountain Biking UK
Nikon D3, 80-200mm f/2.8, 1/320sec f/10 @ ISO200, two radio slaves
Yep, it's as wet as it looks. My D3 still needs some attention as a result of this shoot... and I discovered the limits of Goretex trousers by lying in a succession of ditches. Client: Tri Plus
Nikon D3, 17-35mm f/2.8, 1/320sec f/9 @ ISO400, two radio slaves
Alpine singletrack. Can't beat it. Thirty minutes after shooting this the fog rolled in and we beat a hasty retreat down the mountain. Client: personal work, but published in What Mountain Bike
Nikon D300, 50-150mm f/2.8, 1/800sec f/6.3 @ ISO200
I love the 1th and the 3th picture! But at the first pic, where did you put your left-light? High up in the air? Because I see a shadow at the bottom...
Thanks for sharing the info.

Hey Tom,
The shadow's from the sun :) Both lights are in the same place, to the left and very slightly ahead of the rider. There's a raised bank there which means I can get them to a good height.
