What a great place Northamptonshire is!




I have been busy for the past few weeks working on mt book due out next Autumn, called A Winter's Tale of Northamptonshire - showing the county between harvest time and Easter... which has meant lots of snowy landscapes and frozen Peter Brueghel type scenes. BUT I never thougt I would get chance to photograph some downhill skiing and snow board action!
The enterprising folk at Cold Ashby (how appropriate!) Golf Club had the brilliant idea to hook up a portable ski lift on one of the holes, with a nice long slope, and before you know it the lift passes were printed and the boarders were "catching air".
My pix show one of them soaring over my colleague JR, while he was crouching to get that unusual angle that all we photographers seek, and the other shows what happens when you try to smile at the photographer as you exit the ski lift!
We were out photographing this fun action with a view to the nationals... let's hope that the picture editors like them!
