Traveling Asia as a Regional Manager
The world is awash with amazing time-lapse shots taken by those much better than I. Whatever camera I have at the time I point it out of the hotel window and shoot, be it with auto time-lapse mode or RAW files compiled from the 6D. I have learnt more and more as I go along but the most pleasure I get is not from producing a master piece (I don’t) of the genre but from looking back and appreciating how lucky I am to have seen so much.
A fantastic weekend at MotoGP in Sepang, Malaysia. Just a quick selection of the hundreds of photos taken over three days.
Looking out of my KL hotel window was a sight that any young boy would have enjoyed! Diggers, cranes, pile drivers and builders doing their thing. Would I have enjoyed a different career?
Visited Sepang in Malaysia to watch a couple of days testing for the MotoGP teams prior to the 2014 season. For the spectator Sepang has many great spots to watch from. The only section of the circuit I have not yet seen is the section after turn two to before half way. But most of the circuit can be seen from about 3 locations in the main grandstand as you can see from the video.
An unexpected surprise at end of work trip to KL, Malaysia. The MotoGP boys were pre season testing at Sepang. Went early for my flight home and popped by Sepang with Sebastian before check in. The place was empty and was able to snaps some photos.

Great weekend at MotoGP at Sepang in KL, although two of the three races were curtailed by rain and getting back to hotel was tortuous and briefly prompted a promised not to come again but will definitely be back.
Highlight was the young Malaysian rider on the KTM, Khairuddin. Fastest all weekend and lost the lead on the last corner to his team mate Cortese who became world champion. Maybe next year for Malaysia first ever win.
MotoGP was won by Pedroza and a slip (and miraculous save) on last corner by Lorenzo might have just saved his Championship ambitions.
I was in awe all weekend of the talent on display by the skill of controlling these monstrous machines.
