My Photos from 2010

2010.
Where to start? Well one thing is for sure, it's been a fast one! So how do I go about summing up a year which seems like it's lasted all of 5 minutes? With some cool photos of a range of car's doing ridiculous stuff that's how!

I've always loved Drifting photography, the cars just seem to jump out of the image more so than any other motor sport in my opinion. Whether it's a capture of a savage tandem drift battle, or just a KE70 dirt dropping at a grassroots practice day it's some I've always wanted to get myself involved in.
About midway through the year I got myself along to the brilliant FCD:MP drift day run by Bob who has done a brilliant job all year running these days.
Loads of Brotherhood friends were there and I was incredibly grateful of photo extraordinaire, Mr Ian G for very kindly lending me his stunning (and expensive!) Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens to attach to my 5d mkii and I learnt so much that day. Ian taught me some simple things to help develop my own technique and I couldn't of asked for more. So thanks man!

So on with the photos, these are just a handful of my personal favorite shots from the year. It's difficult to choose, but I have decided to pick the photos that aren't necessarily the best photos technically, but the ones that I still love to look at!













Brother Tony




This is one of my favorite photos from the year. Brother Paz running the wires.






Another of my favorites. Brother Jay in the MX5 driving along one of Mallory's straights. But it's the light/rain combo that I love the most!




It's been so hard to pick photos for this little write up, but if you want to browse round some more of my photos then visit my flickr page here

What do I hope 2011 brings? Well hopefully more of the same! I plan to get along to as many of the main UK drifting events and bring you guys some coverage along with some photos from my happy place, Mallory Park.
I have also recently got my hands on one of my all time favorite cameras, The Mamiya M645 1000s Medium format film camera. So I plan to bring you some shots from that with a touch more style.

I hope you enjoyed some of my photos from through the year, I've enjoyed taking them. Thanks for looking.

James.
