52 Week Challenge – Week 14
It was another weekend of racing, this time a “Roubaix” style race along the roads and dykes in Pitt Meadows. It rained for most of the day which helped to mimic some of the conditions often found in the Belgian spring classics.
Concentration, determination or despair…not sure which one of these he was feeling.

The weather and physical surroundings created a very Flandrian feel to the race.

52 Week Challenge – Week 12
It was another weekend of bicycle racing, this time in Aldergrove, BC. The day was a mixed bag of brilliant sunshine and threatening clouds. The winds were strong along 0 Avenue, next to the US border and even forced riders into echelons.

Another day photographing the Escape Velocity Spring Series, this time in Ft. Langley. The infamous Snake climb was on tap today and was the focal point of my coverage. This rider is looking at the climb just ahead as he rounds the switchback.

WTNC – July 19, 2016
It was Tuesday night racing at the Glenlyon course in Burnaby this week. Great conditions for racing…or taking photographs. The images below were all shot with the Fuji X-T1 and the XF50-140 f2.8 or the XF10-24 f4 lens. Camera was set on jpeg using my new favourite film simulation, Classic Chrome.

Gastown Grand Prix
I went to the 2016 edition of the Gastown race to watch and photograph the races purely for my own enjoyment. No media pass or requisite finish line photos for a magazine required. No pressure! I found a spot on Carroll at Cordova where I’ve never shot before and decided to make up for lost time…and never really left that corner.
Here is a selection of images I captured from that spot. I used a Fujifilm X-T1 paired with the XF50-140 f2.8 zoom, all shots are jpegs using the Classic Chrome film simulation. I made some very minor adjustments and cropping in Lightroom. That’s it!
