the Animal/Relentless bike tour was in town and being a mountain biker I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to see two amazing riders performing some crazy stunts.

May 21, 2010 | Category: cars | Leave a Comment
The weekend halfway through May means only one thing to the thousands of mini enthusiasts around the globe, the annual London to Brighton run.
Over two-thousand minis from around the world meet up at Crystal Palace park in London and drive to Maderia Drive in Brighton where they park up and enjoy each others company, shopping for parts and accessories, and entertainment.
A couple of photos to share

No real theme or reason here, just a couple of recent photos I have taken that I like.
This is sunset over Brighton, looking West and taken from the top of Brighton Marina car park.

This is from one end to the other of an under-road tunnel that links Saltdean to the beach. This area has a few notable bits of art-deco building (mainly the Saltdeal Lido) that I have always liked the style of.

Seeing as the sun was out I decided to go for a wander in Friston forest. It wasn’t particilarly a photo-mission but I took my camera anyway and bought home a few photographs.

A couple of weeks back the Scout group I help out with visited Herstmonceux observatory and science centre. I took my camera along and took a few pictures…

Holga – medium format madness!
March 17, 2010 | Category: photography | 2 Comments
I’ve managed to sort out my favorite pictures (so far) taken with my Holga camera and get them scanned in and uploaded.
Although all the pictures here were taken around the Brighton area, they have no particular theme, but, they do show the fantastic low-fi, warm, vintage images the Holga is famous for.

Brighton Mini Club organised a day out to Brooklands historic race track and museum, being a member of the club I jumped at the chance to take our little cars out to such a historic motorsport venue and take some pictures!

Bad Bad Whiskey

Local rock-a-skiffle band Bad Bad Whiskey opened a rockabilly live bands night at the Prince Albert pub, Brighton last night so I dragged my camera down for its first outing to a gig. All pictures were shot with a Nikon D5000 and kit 18-55mm VR lens. Read more

All change!
January 13, 2010 | Category: photography | Leave a Comment
The Burningflan blog is about to change, hopefully for the better!
The blog has recently become a neglected lump of intarwebz serving no purpose other than clogging up the information-mega-tubes. I am hoping to change this situation, and the renewed enthusiasm has come from a recent purchase – a Nikon D5000
I have been interested in photography for a long time but had not been able to afford a DSLR, after a LOT of saving my pennies I had enough to buy one ^_^
I also have a small collection of other, far more low-tech, cameras which I hope to feature here. I’m planning on making a DIY lightbox like this one – DIY lightbox, Strobist – to photograph them in.
I’ve managed to get excited and start waffling on about equipment here which is not the point of this update, I’ll write some dedicated posts for gear. The point of this post is that I hope to use the blog to display some of my work and, hopefully, get some feedback to help me improve my photography.
So, heres to the new face of Burningflan – reassigned as a photoblog and (hopefully) updated far more regularly!

Nerdgasm!
July 25, 2009 | Category: nerdy stuff, waffle | 3 Comments
I have just returned from the opening of the new Apple store in Brighton’s Churchill Square shopping mall.
I haven’t ever been to a comic convention or product launch before but seeing as I am a big fan of Apple’s products, owning a MacBook and my now indispensable iPhone, I thought I would show my support, head out to the opening event and become a real fanboi!
The event was well put together, arriving 10/15 mins before opening we joined the queue that was snaking its way around the mall and waited for the doors to open. At 10:00 the shop staff worked the crowd up, cheering and waving before running along the whole queue dishing out high-fives!
