A crash during a speedway race left a photographer with a fractured neck. The incident occurred during the bike race event at Armadale Stadium in West Lothian, Scotland, where the Edinburgh Stellar Monarchs competed against the Poole Pirates.

Peter Hill, a 45-year-old cameraman known for his work with the Edinburgh Stellar Monarchs, was positioned trackside, capturing the high-speed action as the race unfolded. Suddenly, chaos erupted as one of Monarch’s riders, Craig ‘Cookie’ Cook, lost control and crashed, triggering a chain reaction that led to a speeding bike hurtling over the safety barrier.

Indoor Adventure is a series of images created by Felix Hernandez for BMW Motorrad in Mexico. Shot in miniature (It’s Felix, what else would they be?), the scenes recreate outdoor scenes to show off the motorcycles in a number of environments that many of us aren’t getting to experience right now.

It’s a three-part series, and as always, each comes with some behind the scenes photos and a video to document its creation. And as is usually the case with Felix’s work, all three are both inspired and inspiring.

My photography started as a hobby, which became and passion and led to me becoming a professional. Mainly being self-taught, I was one of the first in my field to use portable lighting, and I now light all my subjects; from nature, portraits to architecture and of course motorbikes!

I undertake projects for one of the largest lighting companies in the UK and have published a book called ‘Light, Shoot, Capture’ which gives full details on lighting setups and what you can expect to gain from lighting your subjects.

Here are my best seven tips for action sports photography…
