How to Take Better Rally Pictures: The Basics came about through my experiences, trials and tribulations during my early years of professional rally motorsport photography.
I've been taking photographs now for well over 20 years - where do the years go? And since 2000 I've been heavily involved with rally motorsport photography.
I've still a lot to learn, (haven't we all?) but I thought it was about time I started writing about the photography techniques that work for me to help other photographers learn how to take better pictures for themselves and to help those interested in photography, like you, to learn from my mistakes.
It isn't often that I come across professional photographers who are willing to help me or advise me; they are an exception rather than the rule. We all tend to keep ourselves to ourselves and quietly get on with our own 'secret techniques' and hope that nobody else catches on.
There are very few, if any, secrets; it's more a question of learning how to set up your camera, lens and flash gun for each situation you are confronted with. That's hopefully where I can help.
How to Take Better Rally Pictures: The Basics is a unique rally photography resource designed to help you improve your photography skills. In electronic book (eBook) format, ready for immediate download, my photography guide is written in plain English (that's all I know) - all about rally photography.
I don't make any assumptions about your photography skills and as a result, How to Take Better Rally Pictures: The Basics is suitable for both beginners and the more advanced photographer and includes a FREE bonus eBook How to Look After Your Camera Gear.
These rally photography resources cover the basics that experienced photographers will take for granted, tips and techniques that lots of photographers use day to day, who assume that 'everybody knows that'. We don't all know the basics and I'm sure there are 'basics' that lots of experienced photographers haven't heard of before either, or have forgotten. Remember that 'Basics' can be advanced techniques for those of us that simply haven't come across them before.

Book review: Top rally motorsport editor Kim Bolsover, reviews our photography eBook
I asked rally motorsport editor Kim Bolsover if she would review 'How to Take Better Rally Pictures: The Basics' because I knew that she would be brutally honest! I needed someone who I trusted to pass judgement on the eBook's 'qualities', i.e. what could be improved, and also to provide a perspective from a non-technical angle, from someone who knows very little about photography.
Those of you who are familiar with Kim, in her capacity as rally motorsport editor, will know she doesn't stand for any nonsense. She insists on good written English and well-structured writing that serves a purpose. She can spot poor work, poor writing and written rubbish at 100 paces, so I was a brave chap indeed, to ask Kim to review my work. Kim continues...
"I haven't a clue about cameras but I reckoned that even I could take some decent shots after reading this guide. So, I went out and 'had a go', advancing from 'glamorous assistant' to on-event photographer on several UK National events. The results? I'm pretty amazed really. Listen, if I can do this, anyone can!" Kim Bolsover, Editor, Rallycodriver Magazine
Kim read the book thoroughly and came up with the following list of photography concepts that are covered:
- How to choose your camera gear wisely
- How to use depth of field
- How to assess and improve your work
- How to assess the rally stage for the right camera gear
