Snowed in For Xmas

Well not quite....but almost!! The snow reigned terror over the whole country according to the news - i mean it was a nuisance after a time sure but we managed just fine! I went out and took a few snow pictures, now i know i've posted a fair few snow pictures already on this blog but well.......tough here are a couple more!! It's only literally a couple so you'll be okay i promise.

"Morning campers! Rise & shine...and don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today. It's cold out there everyday."

Frosty frosty frosty at the moment. I went out to take some pictures, covered up, many many layers and a hat and i think i still got frostbite on my head!!! Here are some frosty photos that i took this week.

Action Photography

I do love to look at action photographs, the extreme sports ones are incredible to me. Just so exciting, of course that is the idea, and I would love to try my hand at some of the extreme sports such as, Climbing, Snowboarding, Motor Racing...sadly I havn't been able to yet. But I will!! I have been lucky enough to capture a few action shots of these extreme sports, be it only small versions. A couple of years ago (2007) it snowed so much that a few of my friends were able to get their snowboards out and make small jumps. The pictures I took are here

Alright maybe not a snowboard but still...

I have also been able to photograph my friends riding their Trials Bikes in the woods near our homes. In case you are unfamiliar with Trials Riding, it is all about stability and style rather than speed. The riders must complete a course that involves many difficult obstacles, without letting their feet touch the ground. Here are the pictures
