MTB XC racing through a vineyard, nice!

It's great when a regular sort of assignment is turned into something a bit special.

Today one of my photoshoots was of an MTB Cross Country race. Nothing special about that really. I must have photographed a few dozen MTB races.

But for a photographer, once you've taken pics of a few of these events, you start looking for something to keep yourself interested. One of the best incentives is when you are offered a new or different venue as a backdrop to your pics.

That was what happened at the GVC XC. The race circuit was laid out within the grounds of an impressive local property and it offered a real mix of features. But for me it was the chance to use a vineyard as the setting for my photographs.

Also can I just remind you that there is an option when ordering pics for you to select a BLACK & WHITE version. Most of the website galleries consist of a coloured version but I do love a BLACK & WHITE print. There is something classic and timeless with a monochrome image.
