A job that digital (free) photography was made for......

I feel so lucky to have enjoyed both the 'old days' of actual film photography and the modern replacement in the form of Digital capture.

The special part about spanning such a dramatic change in photography is that when I first picked up a camera I was able to develop as a photographer at a time that 'shooting' a roll of thirty-six photos resulted in considerable expense as developing and printing added to the cost.

This taught me a certain discipline and awareness of when it was unwise to even try (waste) taking a shot in near impossible conditions.

But now the good, no, great thing about the digital era is that taking photos and exploring photography in near impossible conditions doesn't cost a fortune... in fact it is essentially free!

So it was good to push the digital photography boundaries on the Friday night stages of the 2026 Guernsey Rally.

The challenge was to work in near total darkness without using flash lights whilst capturing very fast moving Rally Cars!

I can't claim that I'm totally happy with the results I ended up with but it was certainly enjoyable trying to overcome the situation... and the best part is that it didn't cost a penny!

There's a new Gallery on my website if you want to see the results. Click the link to view it:
