Well, it's certainly an argument that ignores history and mechanical simplicity... :) And Ford vs Chevy is an argument in which there is no sensible answer other than 'No thanks'.

You should give it a go - the purest form of cycling there is.

I had to Google that... :)

Since Manchester in 2008 I've done Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Australia, Belarus, Colombia, Scotland and Mexico. Colombia again in January, Paris in February.

Every now and again, a client does something really nice. The UCI - cycling's governing body - made this video of me at work at the World Cup in London last week. All unrehearsed and at short notice - I'd have liked to get more variety of stills in there, but the New Zealand team - another...

Very nice indeed. Almost worth getting cold and muddy for!

Thanks. I like the snow leopards too. They were intent on killing each other, which explains the attitude!

That Spartan display pilot is incredible

Thanks - supper arrived shortly after that pic!

I don't know Canon performance well enough to say. Judging by what I've seen in my main area of photography (indoor track cycling...) he's probably right - unless he makes the switch to Nikon. Given what and where he shoots, I'm surprised he wasn't aware of what he could gain if he did. Just...

Thanks Tom

Sea Vixen rather than a Vampire. Former Red Bull liveried aircraft. I much prefer that 899 NAS gauntlet...

Me too. Funny things, people. :)

As Chad's (180q) Cross photos were so well received, I thought I'd share a few more winter cycling shots - but indoor ones!

(And thanks Dave and Dossy!)

To be fair, he was very good and I suspect has forgotten more about shooting big cats than I'll ever know. We'd had a conversation about the merits or otherwise of Auto ISO modes, which he dismissed because there's no point shooting over ISO 400 as the results are horrible. I begged to differ...

I have plenty of those - they just don't seem to be as popular!

Thanks. There was a chain link fence between us - but just the one, which was the USP of the workshop...

Big bucket of fresh horse meat... :) The rest of the day's pics are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/swarbrick/collections/72157625384453780/

It may have been a D3, but it was dark enough that my options were f2.8 or... well, f2.8, really. Fortunately, it worked!

Thanks. As usual, the camera did I better job than I do - the focus could have done with being 2 or 3cm further back, but at this size you barely notice...

Very nice. Love the PP I haven't shot any Cross this year yet - my son broke his collar bone and isn't riding at the moment and I did my knee so I can't get down low. May shoot the Central race at Hillingdon on Sunday, although after the Winter League road race there on Saturday I may think...

Posted this on Facebook recently and got a whole load of 'Likes'. It's a fairly standard shot of a plane turning tight away from the display line - I have dozens of them... and hundreds that are more interesting!

Taken on a safari park safari workshop after the (Canon-shooting) workshop leader had advised people to give up because the light had gone. 20 minutes after...

That's not strictly true. They could if they used the Nikon SDK (which is free). Adobe chooses not to.

Well, the D3 and the 24-70 arrived a couple of weeks ago, but everytime I pick them up it feels like Christmas... :) Photography related I got an Arctic Butterfly sensor cleaner and a couple of Henri Cartier-Bresson books and not photography related - the superb Flying Scotsman (The Graeme...

So do I. I spend hours doing it - and I didn't expect anything in return for having offered it in this instance. I was pleased to help. But there's a point at which, having ignored my advice, I feel less inclined to offer more - and disinclined to sort out any problems ignoring my advice may...

And I will. As I said, it wasn't the fact that he ignored my advice (although I'm not quite sure why he asked for it, as he'd clearly already made his mind up) but the way he came and told me that he had. Most unlike him, really. And they do both do the same stuff, which is what I told him...

Back in the mid-late 1980s my company asked me to investigate the then-new area of desktop publishing. I did; extensively. I recommended a Mac II, Apple Laserwriter and PageMaker. They bought an IBM AT, an HP LaserJet and Ventura. When they came and asked me if I could figure out why they...

He's a nice guy, so I'll help him if I can - as long as it isn't too camera specific. And I really don't mind what he bought. It was the way -not the fact - that he came and told me that he'd ignored my advice... I suspect she'll never use the thing anyway, so it won't be a major problem.

I'm the official photographer for a sports club and I often get asked for advice from people choosing a camera. I try to be even handed and diplomatic... I was recently asked to help someone choose between a Canon 400D and a D40 as a Christmas present for his wife. I said that they were both...
