New-Look website almost ready

Not a major change, but there are now so many photos on there, it was taking some pages a while to load up.  I have just made the sports pages into a logical hierarchy based on sport and then events with that sport, so am hoping that this will improve navigation across the site.

Just waiting on getting back from 3 days fencing this weekend to finish it off.  Check out http://www.peverilphoto.com/  from next week.

On the last leg....

Well, as the mid-life crisis looms ever closer so does the deadline for getting the book on Sports Photography finished.  I am hoping to get some more good pictures at the Fencing this weekend and then finish things off to produce the PDF in little over a week.
I am currently torn between charging £2.99 for it and making some money on sales or just giving it away to promote my pictures and asking for donations to the 400mm f/2.8 lens fund instead.

Snow is nice, when you don't have to get anywhere

Most of the UK has seen some heavy snowfall over the past 7-10 days which has been great for sledging and, as it hasn't frozen over the pavements, not made walking to work too hazardous.
I have had to keep an eye on the weather though as early tomorrow morning I will be heading down to Guildford, Surrey to cover 3 days of fencing at Surrey Sports Park.
All it needs now is for the car to start after a week under the snow............

Northern Athletics Indoor Championships 2013

These were held at the EIS on 12th-13th January 2013.  A full range of Indoor Track and Field events for various age ranges were held, and they were a good warm-up for the European Trials and UK Indoor Championships at the same venue in 3 weeks time.

Looking good for 2013!

Well, as if 2012 wasn't a fab year for sport, 2013 looks like it will at least start off by continuing the trend.  Coming up are:
* British Junior Squash Open, Sheffield, 2nd-6th January
* Northern Athletics Championships, Sheffield, 12th-13th January
* Fencing - Beazley Trophy & FIE Centennial Activity, Guildford, 25th-27th January
* UK Indoor Athletics Championships, Sheffield, 9th-10th February
* British Athletics Grand Prix, Birmingham, 16th February

then there will be Snooker in April/May, Swimming and Diving in June/July, the list goes on....I've put the book project on a slight hold over Christmas, but will look to get a near-enough 'final' draft ready by the end of February (which will allow for pictures for some of the above to be included).

Hope your year is a good one in 2013 =:~)

BBC Sports Personality 2012

Well, it seems like a fantastic year of sport was capped off last night by Bradley Wiggens being awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the year.

I don't know how 2013 will ever match it for such full-on goodness, though it is shaping up nicely and there is the rather juicy prospect of Le Tour coming to Yorkshire in 2014.....
