My 1D recently had a shutter blow out, not great after only 78k shots but very happy to have her back!

The Perth Crash

Vern — Wed, 04 May 2011 11:47:23 +0000

This was one of those right place, right time moments for what was one of the biggest crashes in V8 Supercars history. Firstly Steve and Karl are relatively ok, Karl has burns to his hands that need some attention. More on that here.

I had been getting a couple of shots on the grid and once the cars started their warm up lap I quickly ran around the back of the pits and jumped up in the grandstand to get some shots of the start. Still had it in manual mode from the grid and just had a second to set my levels and the race started, initially shooting the leaders as they launched and then seconds later felt this huge hit of heat on the side of my face, looked to my right and this was the first shot I got off;

Just kept smashing the shutter button without even checking levels, they were slightly under exposed but I think that actually worked out better for most of them considering the light coming from the fire ball. You can see the twirl of air as the heat of the explosion headed upwards.

I didn’t see Steve get out of his car, but he got out first. Karl took some time getting out which left everyone holding their breath.

Crews from all over the place jumped the pit wall and started attacking the fire with any extinguishes they could get their hands on.

The fire itself was out pretty quick, first shot 10:39:24, last shot was 10:39:58.

Video here and the in-car shot;

The twins have arrived!

V8 Supercars Skateboard Video

Vern — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 02:34:38 +0000

What I love about this video is not only that Joel actually managed to pull it off and build a V8 Supercar powered skateboard, but this was shot on a Canon 5D and it looks superb!

Simply shot and nicely edited. Looks great!

Townsville, what a great event!

Vern — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 23:32:32 +0000

This was a fantastic event in the V8 Supercar calendar, the racing was great and the off track entertainment was also awesome. The Townsville track is not your usual street circuit, not only you can see so much of the track from so many different angles and locations, but it encourages great racing as well. Each corner has a unique an setup to produce strong competitive driving.

Milky Way Spin

Vern — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 03:22:21 +0000

Camping recently in the Barrington Tops in NSW, looking up at night you tend to see a fair few more stars then in the ol’ big smoke.

This one I exposed for a little over ten minutes, but what’s great about living in the southern hemisphere is we get a far better view of the Milky Way then the folks up north.
