\"\"<\/p>\n

Last weekend I photographed the Long Beach Formula Drift races.<\/p>\n

I had a really awesome time there, met a bunch of our sponsored drivers – all great guys, and saw some really incredible driving. I wish I could handle my car at even a fraction of the level that these drivers can handle theirs. I always think “Man, I’m in the wrong business…” but, then realize, that being a professional photographer is pretty damn awesome also.<\/p>\n

Above is a shot of Tanner Foust driving the Rockstar Scion TC… which, with the wide body kit on it, looks pretty awesome I have to say. Below is a shot of Vaughn Gittin Jr.\u00c2\u00a0 driving the 2010 Ford Mustang – which is damn impressive to see someone slide such a massive car around a drift course.<\/p>\n

I was pretty pleased with a lot of my shots from the weekend. All are shot hand held – no mono pod, and most with a normal lense – not telephoto. I moved back and forth between 1\/15 and 1\/125 of a second depending on distance to subject, speed of subject, and which corner I was standing on.<\/p>\n

Samuel Hubinette took third place is his BF Goodrich Viper – also impressive to see this car flying through the course.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I looked most of the day since I didn’t want to breath in all the tire smoke, haha. Woo!<\/p>\n

Visit the racing<\/a> section in my portfolio for more images from the races. I’m actually just about to leave for the Long Beach Grand Prix where I’ll be photographing for the next four days.
\nFollow me on Twitter<\/a> for updates on that too!<\/p>\n

And sorry for the delay in updates everyone… I’ve had limited access to the web the last week due to work, travel, and the holiday.<\/p>\n

Check back throughout the weekend for new photos from the Grand Prix!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
