Tour of Britain Stage 8

So a couple of weeks ago I went to Stage 8 of the Tour of Britain. Not as a photographer for once, but as a punter. I looked incredibly pro - my bag contained my camera with one lens, a jumper for when it got a bit chillier, and 6 cans of beer. I only took a camera just in case I saw something that leapt out at me. And, sure enough, I only took a single photo. Just the one. And that's it up there. Stage winner Greipel leading Bradley Wiggins through the docklands with Canary Wharf in the background.

Sometimes, they come to you...

Meet Nathaniel. Nathaniel is a gardener. He was sent to come and fix my fence this afternoon - couldn't resist getting a few shots so I asked him. Totally game for it - cracking bloke.

The set up is a 60" brolly on camera left, a 5 degree grid behind and camera right all shot wide open at 2.8 with flashes right near the bottom of the power scale. He's coming back to finish the fence tomorrow, and would you believe it, wants to shoot some more.
