I’ve added some more photos to Flickr. This is one of my favourites from the Hueco Rock Ranch in Texas. Great place! Looking forward to heading back there in a couple of weeks.

Panorama-rama!

Hello, sorry for the delay. Internet access and time have been sporadic. I’m in Las Vegas, NV at the moment, and currently hiding from the stifling sun. It’s nice to see it though. I haven’t had a lot of time to update here or Flickr recently, although I am trying to stay on top of the editing of the massive backlog of photos. I’ve been really getting into my panoramas while I’ve been here (probably something to do with having my fantastic new tripod!). Also, the the landscapes at some of the places we’ve been have really lent themselves to the multi shot panoramas. You just can’t do them justice with just one shot! I thought I’d share a few of my favourites here. I hope you like them…

Click on the photos to see larger sizes. I’m gonna try and get more stuff up onto Flickr when I can, but it might have to wait until I get home. It’s a full time job in itself!

Zorro

The B² Productions have been very busy again of late. After getting the Castle video finished, we spent a wet afternoon in Colorado putting together a short video about me and Benny working our “long term” project in Yosemite, CA – Zorro (V4). I hope you enjoy it. I think it’s our best work yet.

…Oh, and apologies for any naughty language that might have slipped in. It’s purely for artistic purposes. Honest.

Buttermilks Panorama

Buttermilks Panorama, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb.



Another panorama. This time from the Buttermilks in Bishop. The Buttermilks is an amazing, world famous bouldering spot. I really liked it there, but most of the boulders seemed totally huge! The two in the middle of the shot here are Grandma and Grandpa Peabody, and they stand at a height of round 55 feet! It makes for an incredible landscape though.

Kings of the Castle…

Hello. Greetings from Boulder, CO. Apologies for the lack of updates recently – I assure you, there is plenty to show and tell, but I just don’t have the time to get everything sorted and posted right now – I will though!

Anyway, I thought I would post this here. I (along with Benny under B² Productions guise) have finished our first, of what we hope will be a series, of short films from the Castle Climbing Centre in London. I hope you enjoy it!

Castle Classics – Volume 1 from B² Productions on Vimeo.

While I’m on the subject, don’t forget to check out the B² Productions website to keep a track on how our America trip is going (Shameless plug!) – There’s also a selection of photos from the trip in the Gallery. Please come and have a look!

Ta!
