Hi, thanks for dropping by

I'm Shane, the photographer behind 5th Gear Digital. With nearly two decades behind the lens, I've photographed a wide range of sports and events, from action sports to endurance events and everything in between.I enjoy capturing the action as it happens, along with the people, atmosphere and moments that make each event memorable.
