| 1) | Specify the print(s) you want by the event and roll-frame numbers and indicate the quantity and size of print for each. If any prints are to be custom-cropped, note this as well. |
| 2) | Email me with your selections and mailing address. |
| 3) | I'll confirm the total with you, and once I receive payment (PayPal, personal check, or money order), I'll have the prints made and will send them on their way. |
| Q1: | What equipment do you use? |
| A1: | I use a Canon Rebel G 35mm SLR, with Tokina AT-X 28-70mm f2.8 and Tokina AT-X 80-200 f2.8 lenses, a Kenko MC-7 2X teleconverter, and Canon 380EX flash. Most of the track shots were done with the 80-200 lens with the teleconverter, with focal lengths of about 350-400mm. For film, I usually use Kodak Professional Ultra Color 400. |
| Q2: | Why don't you use a digital camera? |
| A2: | For me, there are no compelling reasons why I should, and a number of reasons why I don't: |
*A valid point was recently made to me that I could easily have the images burned to a CD and printed out by a shop, eliminating these issues, as well as being able to delete any bad shots before they were printed. That would still leave the issue of having to buy the camera body, though... | |
| Q3: | Can the final picture size affect what's shown? |
| A3: | Yes. The images here show the full frame; a 35mm frame is actually 36x24mm, or in other words, a 1.5:1 ratio. Prints in 4x6" and enlargements in 8x12", 12x18", and 20x30" will show the full frame just as it is shown on this site. For a graphical representation of what happens when a 35mm image is printed in a non-1.5:1 ratio size, see this example. No matter what size enlargement, it can be custom-cropped if you specifically ask for it. |
| Q4: | I drive a _________ and haven't seen a picture of it. Did you take a picture of my car? |
| A4: | I wish I could answer that off the top of my head, but with the number of shots I take, I just can't remember them all. Additionally, while your car might be immediately recognizable to you, it might not be readily recognizable to me; for example, if you drive a silver E36 M3 and there are three or four silver E36 M3s in your class, I might be able to remember that I'd taken a picture of a car like yours, but not necessarily one of your car.
To find a shot of your car when you're at the track, please look through ALL of the albums I have on display; I have double prints made for each shot and they'll be in the same pocket in a single album, not divided amongst multiple albums -- each album is unique. Additionally, you might miss a picture of your car amongst a group of cars, as both prints I have at the track often get purchased before everyone in the shot has had a chance to look at them. However, that shot will still be represented on this site. There are a few things you can do to help ensure I get shots of your car: |
| |
| Q5: | Why don't you take pictures of _________? (Porsches, instructor's cars, etc.) |
| A5: | The fact is, I do take plenty of pictures of those. More often than not, a picture is there, but has been overlooked. That having been said, in the case of instructor's cars, I am often either attending the initial student meeting or am still at lunch during the instructor run times. However, I certainly do take pictures of instructors that are out with the student run groups. |
| Q6: | From what locations do you usually take the shots? |
| A6: | In the morning, I can usually be found at Turn 12, and in the afternoon, Turn 5. |
| Q7: | Why do you usually shoot on Saturdays only? |
| A7: | I shot on both Saturday and Sunday for the first two schools I did, but I found that the return on investment of time and money was very low (negative, actually) for the shots done on Sunday. |
| Q8: | I heard you are shooting single rolls for folks who want them -- is this correct? |
| A8: | Yes! For $30 up front, I will shoot one 12-exposure roll during one Sunday track session at your choice of: 1) the paddock, grid, Turn 12, and/or track out; OR 2) Turns 5, 6, and/or 7. After I've finished the roll, I'll turn it over to you for you to develop. For logistical reasons, I cannot work both ends of the track during a session (i.e. Turn 5 and then Turn 12) and still get twelve on-track shots. Additionally, the time of day and whether or not someone in your class (or adjacent to it) has already commissioned me are factors, so please ask about this early in the weekend! Note that when you commission me, you will own the copyright to all of the pictures on the roll. |
