This photo is one I am very proud of. I did the photography, and the art direction. All of the photoshop work, the type (I am obsessed with Type), The whole page, except for the writing, was mine. I put a lot of effort into this. But, I got to say that walking out of Bachendorf's with $73,000 worth of watches to take to my studio was scary. The walk to my car in the parking garage was a bit tense.

 

From the test and tune day at MDIR this past Sunday

 

Back in '71 thru '75 I worked for the news bureau at the small college I attended. The director was a published photographer and ran a 1st class product. The dark room was unbelievable and with his direction I got pretty dang good at it. We had a selection of Nikon and Nikkormat cameras and a wide selection of lenses from fish eye out to 300 MM and everything was shot with PlusX. The majority of photos in the campus paper and year books for those years I was responsible. Here's on of my favorites.

 

Couple of panning shots from a NASA event at Mid-Ohio last weekend that I shot with my Fuji X-M1 with a XC 50-230mm lens

Went to a Classic Car appreciation day event last weekend.

 

I think I posed these in my 'build' thread and I can't take credit for them (photos by Alicyn Drew), but I had these taken at MOTD 2019. They are both MINI related and beautiful photography, so i thought they belonged here.

One of my favorite roads in the Country. "Shaffer Trail" [Moab, Utah]. The "White Rim Trail" also forks off from it a bit more before the switchbacks. Rode it [motorcycle/sidecar] many times, always uphill!

 

I shot a couple of outstanding MOPARs a few hours ago. Both Six-Pack 440s. Nice owner, too.

Pay all my expenses?

Okay, I'll assume that is a no.

For a long lens, look for areas where you can get a group of cars coming around a corner. The long lens will compress depth, so the cars will appear closer together. A curve in the road will allow you to see all of the cars, and if it is in the woods, you only see cars, road and woods. Looks good even if Dave.0 is holding everyone up.



Car-to-car. Hard to do. You need to have a camera that can shoot 5 FPS or better, and waste a lot of frames to get a handful of good shots. You must be comfortable with being out of control of the composition -- it will happen as it happens.The subject car is moving, and you are bouncing around -- while you trust your life to somebody driving on the wrong side of the road. Choose that driver VERY carefully.



Pan shot. Stand in a place where you can see the car coming and going and pan with it. Again, it helps if you can shoot at least 5 FPS and have a very steady hand.

 

The guy I bought my MINI from has this stored in a bubble in his garage. I wanted to drive it but it is not street legal. It is #13 and spent 18 years in restoration. in his garage.

 

I figured I would share something from one of my favorite subject category, Diners.

 

Outside my window today.
