rocking the dub-smit with Cyclingo

I was going through some images from last year and came across some shots I took of John and Mischa from Cyclingo riding in their Smitten gear. We love the stuff so much that "rocking the dub-smitt" is a standard phrase at the shop, meaning the t-shirt and Franklin mini-jumper combo, and standard winter uniform too.

In this photo shoot, the guys had to deal with a gamut of conditions - standing around in the Ferntree cold while I frigged about with camera gear, riding the scary drop off, and being diplomatic (and charming, I though) when harassed by non-too-pleased walkers. All tests worthy of the dub-smit.

THE DOUBLE-F EXPEDITION

I recently got invited to shoot stills for an expedition down the Franklin River, stopping off to climb Frenchmans Cap to break up the trip.

It was a very exciting trip, and the first protracted river trip I'd done. There were a load of new camera tricks and gear to come to terms with when shooting kayaking and rafting, but it was good to realise that clothing and temperature regulation were the same as I was used to. The more I wear wool, the more sold I am on it really being a jack-of-all-trades fabric.

Keep an eye on Rock, Wild and Outer Edge magazines for stories of the expedition.
