I missed shooting this event in 2012 but am back for this year. It’s a lovely warm up tournament for the players and the photographers. Here’s a link to all the images.

Photos from the first home round for the Melbourne Victory in the W-League competition. More photos on MFootball.

Melbourne Victory just posted this on YouTube:

A selection of images from this season opener. Live images worked well with images used by @gomvfc and @melbfootball – More images on MFootball and Melbourne Victory.

It’s pre-season for the A-League and Melbourne Victory have started their training matches. These matches are at the grounds of semi-professional teams from the Victorian Premier League. The grounds are lit well enough for playing but for photography it’s a challenge. To stop the motion it’s best to shoot at 1/000th of a second. At […]

International rugby doesn’t come to Melbourne very often, but it’s good when it does! More photos here.

Good to shoot some action. Lots of options shooting rugby – tight, loose and everything else in between. More here.

Back to Etihad stadium to cover the Greek football powerhouse Olympiakos in an exhibition match against Melbourne Victory. Photos here. And, some shots from the Socceroos earlier this year against Saudi Arabia on a rainy night. Photos here.

Winners are grinners on the last session of the UCI Track World Champs. But there were crashes too. More photos in my archive.

Some pics today that’s different from bicycles going around and around. For captions click on the images:

Lots of action today in the Men’s and Women’s Sprint events. More Day 3 pictures here:

The last cycling event I covered was the UCI Road World Championships in Geelong. This time it’s in Melbourne and at the Hisense arena for the Track World Champs. 5 days of racing. Here’s the start of the pics. More here.

My first Ironman event and it’s a very early start – before sunrise. More pics here.

I’ll be covering the Super Rugby for ZUMA Press. Here’s a pic from my first match and more pics here:

Raceday arrives. It’s actually more like race evening as the race starts at 5pm. The F1 activity starts early with lots of special guests arriving in the F1 Paddock, and the formal stuff starts around 3pm with the drivers’ photos. Then it’s getting into position and then lots of waiting around. Here are some photos […]

After yesterday’s rain, qualification was in bright late afternoon sunshine. I’ve also worked out that the Nikon D4’s autofocus needs a shutter speed of at least 1/1000th to work best in AF-C or tracking autofocus mode. It struggles (with me anyway) at 1/500th, but bumping it up works a treat. Here are the photos of […]

It was a wet/dry day of F1 practise in both sessions. Here are my favourite shots. The panning shots are shot with a Nikon D3x with a 28-300mm lens and the other shots are with a Nikon D4 and a 400mm. First impressions of the Nikon D4 for sports is that the Auto Focus behaves […]

I posted this last year but as its F1 week, here it is again. A 3 minute video of driving through the internal roads of the GP circuit into the media car park, and then leaving the circuit at the Albert Park Grand Prix:

It’s F1 week and Sunday saw the arrival of the first cars. You can follow my week in photos here:

Just finished 7 days of shooting the 2012 Australian Open. What a great way to overcome jet lag. The first two nights were pretty tough especially around 9pm, and then as the body clock adjusted the full days started getting pretty late. The men’s final at almost 6 hours meant finally getting to bed around […]

Round 1 of the Under 16 Oxford Mail Girls Football League started today for the Summertown Stars FC. Click for more photos:

Costa from Goal Weekly asked if I could help out this weekend and cover a Women’s Premier League match. So went out to DISC and shot in sun, wind and then rain. Makes you appreciate how nice stadiums with a roof is! More photos here.

It’s been awhile since the Socceroos played in Melbourne. Here are some images from their match on Tuesday night. All of these were shot from the sideline where you’re not permitted to sit at the domestic A-League and Asian Cup matches unless you’re the official photographer. One of my favourites is the first image where […]

Accredited media had access to a car park opposite the media centre. But getting there is a journey in itself! Even if you live in the same city, it’s amazing what they’ve done to the place as the saying goes. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-MuWmA-lCs]
