Some fantastic shots there - thanks for posting.

I did think that there were a lot unnatural looking HDR's - very obvious cut and paste jobs.

Guess it's just my preference but aside from them they're pretty amazing

I don't believe so; I think that image was shot by a Chris Rose.

But, there are still two of our members' images there. Look closely, and be surprised.

Be very surprised. ;)

But yes, some truly great images there.

I'm especially impressed by a couple of the images by Crash himself. There's a couple that were shot from the interior of a Roller: one looking back at a bride and groom on Oxford St in London; they're each looking in opposite directions, but holding hands.

A second image, again in an old Roller, this time looking forward, but with the B&G in view in the rear view mirror. Magic.

The third of his images that truly grabbed me was the one that was shot from outside the reception lounge, looking inside through the windows at the B&G walking, oblivious to the camera. The reception lounge's exterior walls are blue, and it's a cold night; the interior enjoys a warm hue.

Two other images that grabbed me from what's on display here: one of a weightlifter, shot end on from the weights, with some of the dust from the powder that they use on their hands forming a dust cloud in front of the subject, camera right, and one of a wedding, shot in a ghost town. The b&G are outside the room, visible through a window, which occupies just a small area camera left. There's a row of lamps camera right, and the rest of the image is pretty much black.

Some great stuff here; thanks for sharing.

One other point that I want to make, separately ...

Maybe times have changed here, but I suspect that this may be a London, or UK thing.

In these images, the photographer is obviously traveling with the B&G, in the limo.

When I was shooting weddings, this was not the practice, and images like this would not be able to have been captured. Further, with the various locations that one shoots weddings at in Sydney, one would need to have a second shooter accompanying you in order to make these images.

While a second shooter is common these days, and within certain wedding markets, that was less common when I was shooting, about thirty years or so ago.

Just making the observation ....

No, he's a well respected member. Certainly a member, of some sort. :mrgreen:

First time looking at his one day workshops they were £395, now £325 I guess the credit crunch has effected him to. So wots that about $500 for a day? normally I would think wtf! but I think thats probably worth it for the inspiration alone.
I am also thinking he does a lot of research :shock:
