Paris-Roubaix 2015 – In Slow Motion
Paris Roubaix 2015 – Slowmo from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. I came across this footage which I shot at last year’s Paris-Roubaix race. The race is just over 250km and includes 27 cobbled sectors, one of which I was standing by to shoot this. I uploaded my stills of the race last year. I used…

Lumiere London
The world and their mum seemed to be in London over the weekend for Lumiere London. I had planned to try to get around the whole thing in one evening, but large crowds and a need to be in King’s Cross by 8pm meant I only saw a subset of it on Thursday night. By…

MC Escher and Lee Miller
Last weekend saw me visiting a couple of exhibitions that don’t really have a great deal in common – although both artists will have been vaguely contemporaries – but are both of interest. The Amazing World of MC Escher is said to be the first every exhibition of Escher’s work in the UK. The exhibition…

Lunar Eclipse
I saw a Tweet yesterday that essentially blamed a continuous stream of “once-in-a-lifetime” astronomical events as all being Brian Cox’s fault. An amusing conceit. I suspect it’s really that we’re a little more aware of our surroundings in the solar system these days. Anyway, last night was a lunar eclipse that coincided with a so-called…

Tour of Britain 2015 – Stage 8
The Tour of Britain ended this year as it usually does, with a circuit race around central London. But there was a new circuit this year, with the race heading more into the West End than it has previously. The crowds looked good, and although it was hard to follow the race, I later learned…

Light
While I was in Ghent, I visited the Lightism exhibition, and took some photos. And here is the whole set (link):

Folk by the Oak 2015
I think the relaxed atmosphere and great music makes Folk by the Oak in the grounds of Hatfield House my favourite festival. And with both The Unthanks and Bellowhead on the bill this year, it was unmissable. Here are a few photos I took of this year’s event, with more over on Flickr.

The Tour de France in the Pyrenees – 2015
[A ridiculously large number of photos means this page will be slow to load. Best viewed on a nice big monitor rather than your phone.] Although I’ve been to see the Tour de France a number of times, I’d never really been to see the race in the mountains before. Well, that’s not entirely true.…

Electric Storm
I love a good electric storm, and we had one in London last night (indeed most of the country). I pounced into action with photo, audio and video. That said, I’m not altogether happy with my results. The above represents the best photo I took. There are a couple of video frame grabs below, but…

Tour de Yorkshire 2015
I spent a couple of days of the Bank Holiday weekend up in Yorkshire watching the cycling. This was the first outing of the Tour de Yorkshire, and you can only see it improving – at least if Yorkshire is willing to go on funding it (they’ve signed a 10 year deal with ASO). A…

Paris – Roubaix 2015
When I visited Gent six weeks or so ago, it was to see the city and take in a little bit of cycling. Hence I got to watch Omloop Het Nieuswblad and Kuurne Brussels Kuurne. The former was a more interesting race and I duly found a nice bit of a cobbled ‘berg to view…
