I have almost lost count of the number of photo shoots I have been involved with on the Rainbow slab the snappers. These include Ray Wood taking the last cover guide for the Slate guide with Leo on Bungles, I was heroically holding the ropes, Ironically I also made it onto the cover of the latest guide doing the same for Pete Robins.
The same day I was out with Pete on the Quarryman, we headed down to get some pictures of Released from treatment. I was rather unfit or so I thought so suggested Ian Parnell went wide and expect some big air. As it was I raced across the top ptich so quickly he barely had any time to hit the button.
I did take big air for Dave Simmonite deliberately falling off the crux of Cystitus By Proxy and also climbing up and down the run out section of Pull My Daisy about 5 or six times. I have also taken my fair share of pictures there.
Today we ran into a snapper for a local village who was out getting some more images. It keeps him out of the house long enough to avoid the wife apparently! He stayed around and snapped Simon on Pull My Daisy. He has a small single page website with some pf his work at ephemeral photography. I have to say a massive thanks to pete for letting us have the images and so quickly, as I know the pain of lightroom post precessing. It can longer than you think.
So a selection of Pete’s images are below. All of them are his copyright and are posted with permission here.
