I shot the 2009 Highland Fling for Cycle-Photos.com on the weekend of the 7th – 8th of November. I really love these MTB evens; the people are nice and relaxed, you’re out in the bush, and you’ve got 2,000 acres of toilet with no queues.

I used the Elinchrom Ranger Quadrafor the first time on an MTB event and I’m really impressed with the results. They are not too heavy to carry around in the bush, but are really powerful. I have invested in 2 x 18cm 50degree reflectors to make the most of the power. There’s no point spraying light everywhere, and there have a nice beam – At 6″ from the subject, there have a 6″ area…..easy to remember.

Overall a really great weekend with some good results.
