I was told by one of my professors that take great photographs, but I needed to develop a style that carries through my portfolio.
I believe that I’ve been developing that style over the last 6 months – more than I did before.

Today I was up in Buttonwillow at the raceway for another track event. Thirty or so drivers turned out for a blustery, rainy track day. There was plenty of sliding all over the track, too.

So, rather than take a bunch of standard “panning with a bit of motion-blur-background” shots, I decided to what I do… find interesting lighting and color, and approach the shots a different way. This is one of many different images I had. It’s funny that I had this type of lighting and clouds for a track day; I’ve been wanting this type of light for a fashion shoot for weeks.

More to come later. But right now, it’s nearly 3am.

This is my 50th blog entry since going live – with this version – back in August. So fifty entries in approximately three months is pretty good. Hopefully I have kept you, the readers, entertained and impressed with my work.

Tonight I share with you another image from the track yesterday. I was having fun with the dusk lighting, slower shutter speeds, and panning toward the end of the day. Throw in the headlights that people started using and it made for interesting photos. I will admit, I would love this photo more if there was no cloud cover and I had a gorgeous pink and blue sunset behind it… but, I can’t be too picky, can I?

I spent all day sorting 3,200 photos from yesterday – and burning DVDs for everyone who ordered discs from me. If you drove an S2000 yesterday, this Lotus, the black 300Z, or the white RX7… I have photo discs available for a small cost if interested.

Kat said look tough… Alex just looks drunk, haha… good times though..

Click the photo above, or here for the gallery from BC’s After Black Friday Birthday party at Shark Club in Costa Mesa. I was pretty tired after spending the whole day at the track… but I still made it out to celebrate for a bit with everyone. Call/Email me if you want any of the photos.
