Slide.ly of Warner Brothers Studio Tour

Warner Brothers Studio Tour from June last year, slide show put to music courtesy of Slide.ly a quick, easy and most importantly free way to compile a audio-visual. Very enjoyable day and yes, the butter beer was actually rather good!

More snow, more postponements

Saturdays multiple lorry shoot was postponed which slightly surprised me as the weather forecast hadn't predicted that the snow would be a problem as far south as north London. It was less of a surprise to be unable to do today's shoot in the Peak District as both the roads we had intended to use were still closed due to the snow.

The longest day

It has to be one of the longest day trips I've done in a long time, Peterborough to Bristol to pick up a car from Charles Ware's Morris Minor Centre, then down through Bath, Shepton Mallett, Castle Cary and the Cerne Abbass Giant to Weymouth before going back to Bristol via Yeovil to return the car and head back home. Left at 7am and got home at 10.30pm, well at least the weather was good for a change and as I've often been reminded, photography isn't a 9 to 5 job!

Breaking down

Attempted to do a touring shoot last Friday in a convertible MGB, but things didn't go too well. In hindsight we should probably never have started considering that the whole area where we were was shrouded in fog, then we nearly ran out of petrol and finally the car decided enough was enough and ground to a halt, leaving us stuck at the side of the A16 awaiting the arrival of the AA. Anyway, about an hour and a half later we were on our way again courtesy of an 89p rotor arm, the only problem was the fog wasn't clearing and it was getting darker, so after attempting to photograph the car in front of the Boston stump, the top of which was almost lost in the fog we decided to abandon the shoot and try again on Monday.

Well it's Monday and the fog has cleared, but now we've got snow, bitter cold and fierce winds, bearing in mind that this shoot is for publication in the summer there's no chance of a shoot today either, so we've had to call it off again.
