First of many photos of the day, from the goodwood Festival of Speed 2010.
This one is from the rally stage and is my favourite photo of the day, somehow i will be editing the 1843 photos that were taken and i will make a festival of speed gallery page for all to see.
The follwing information came straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
Festival of speed 2010 air display times:
Saturday 3rd July: Red Arrows 11:30am
Sunday 4th July: Red Arrows 11:30am

Watch for free from here amazing view as if you were there! Location Free parking too!
The vulcan bomber is due to fly at the RAF waddington air show 3rd and 4th July and no official announcement has been made as the weather or not the plane is display ready.
other flights includes the navy black cat helicopters 2pm each day and a fighter jet called a hunter, but most people will only be interested in the arrows and the bomber, for info you can call the ticket office on 01243 755055 tickets still on sale
After the weekend has gone and i have sorted through all my images i will do a specifc gallery for all the images rather than lots of posts, but mean while here is a slighty enhance hdr image of the center piece at the festival of speed 2010 right on the lawn in front of Goodwood House, this year celebrating 100 years of Alfa Romeo.
I will back back on saturday to take shots of the racing, rally stage and the red arrows display and maybe some F1 cars.
check back for more pics soon……
My first ever Sunrise shoot, and for sure it didnt go to plan at all, having stayed up all night at the trundle fog very nearly ruined everything sadly no shafts of sunlight hitting the statue but theres always next time.
The trundle (St Roaches hill) An ancient iron age fort, is now a temporary home to something a little newer in Bronze.
Artemis a 30ft giant horses head cast in bronze Named by the creator/ sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green now stands tall overlooking the sussex downs, glorious goodwood, chichester and a large section of the south coast.
As you can see in the second picture the entire singleton,charlton and east dean valley was thick in fog giving a sureal image of this giant horses head appearing to float on the clouds.
this will definatley be the first of many trips as i cant fit in before the statue disappears for good…….

Not Much to say about todays post apart from i went out by chance looking for new things to photograph and it turned out it was worth it, not quiet the shot i had in mind but quite atmospheric…..
Wel as you know my site has been up a while now and after some mathmatics and removing every time i log in today i have had 1000 hits on my website from 25 diferent countries which is above average according to Google… not bad for a 3 month old site.
Thank you to all that have visited and had a look and please come back also feel free to leave your comments under each post you can remain annonymous if you wish just make up an email address.
Heres some interesting facts for you … or maybe not….
when searching Google World Wide for “waynes photos” Ranked 2nd of about 42 million results
when searching Google uk for “waynes photos” Ranked 1st from 400,000 results
The Bussiest single day was 2nd july with 55 hits
The single most popular post overall has been The London Architecture Poll with 46 visits but only 15 votes ![]()
The average page view is 2.71 pages per visit, spending 3 minutes 17 seconds viewing those pages.
In reality there are a high number of single page visits staying for 10 seconds or less, but here have been a number of visitors how have stayed and given the site a thourough read through thanks you to mondays visitor who stayed for 29 minutes reading 12 pages from the Uk.
55% of people visiting the site return for another look… ![]()
33% of visitors arrived from google or other search engines.
1 person did a search for Jonathan Fridlington (my best mate and fellow photographer) skipped 9 results for him and clicked on my site, the odd thing is i that they never actaully clicked on his site at all that day… how bizzare?
Overall there were visits from 25 countries around the globe in order of most hits first here are the stats
The 25th Country or region is … Unknown (ip region not set) so it could have come from anywhere
There are hundreds more stats i could bore you with but i wont, but i will tell you that i can even tell the screen resoloution of the pcs or handheld devices the website is viewed on and i will be using this in future to maximise the size of the photos i put up, in short if you cant see the whole picture your in the minority and its time to buy a bigger screen!
Here is an image with a descriptionclick on it, if you cant see it all (inc description) then your screen is set below average resoloution (if you need help call me) shame about the lens flare in this picture
if your thinking of upgrading a screen or anything pc Novatech for the best prices and most excellent customer service and after sales i have recived in a long time.
hope i havent sent you to sleep, come back soon as i have some more images to post this week.
