Great phots.  I think the bike rider is Martin Jessopp on a Honda CBR.

Just been looking at your Flickr account. So many great shots! You certainly know you're way around a camera. Totally jealous!

....You think that's a Gannet? :stupid: Nah, it's a Vulcan in Arctic camouflage - Ask Hedge  :wink:. Actually it could be a Victor.

You've totally conveyed the feeling of flight. If you could manage to get continuity of commissions I reckon you could easily be a pro photographer. A good agent would cream off at least 25% but 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I guess that it's still very competitive as it was when I worked as a Designer/Art Director. Also, financial investment in the gear can be expensive, especially if studio work, though you can hire studios, assistants, etc.

On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for shooting what you want rather than what a paying client wants.

I love the varied natural lighting and the enormous distance - Those peaks faaaar awaaaay in the upper left, outlined by white cloud.

It's very 'painterly' and there's a lot going on in it. I'm now enjoying the quite intense green on the slopes. And, of course, the road invites!
