I will be attending the Motorsports Reunion, I haven’t been there since 2001 (back when I was 15!) so I’m really excited to go back now as a professional photographer

I mean look at kid me. Too short of a shutter speed (but timing was right)

Film had it’s charm and I’m still going to pack my Nikkormat F with me and a roll of Kodak Ektachrome

Anyways I’m going to be there all three days, and you guys are welcome to look at the roster and make requests for cars you want to see.

I’ll be using this thread to share all the goodies after the event.

This is the kit I’ll be lugging around. It was difficult to limit myself to this much as it was. I normally haul around more lenses, but with this setup, i’m good from 28mm-200mm, and it even works on my old Nikkormat!

Woo! From me it would have to be:

  • Maserati Tipo 61
  • Any of the Lolas
  • Jag C type
  • Any Alfa possible
  • Ginetta!

But god, it’s tough to pick, there are so many! Just try to shoot to your hearts content :grin:

I’d probably go for the 300SL Gullwing.

Just a reminder, let me know if there is anything SPECIFIC you want to see.

If you want, up to you. We could meet at the base of the big timing tower at noon or something.

14

I’ll be up between turns 8, 9, and 10. I should be the only guy with a safety vest that doesnt say “Mazdaspeed Laguna Seca ###” on the back. I have a BIG straw hat, and I’m only holding one camera today.

But the timer clock after 7B finishes sounds good if you want.

15

I’ll try to find you, I’ll be wearing a grey shirt and black pants.

16

Im at the base of the corqscrew, purple shirt, tan pants. Mid telephoto lens attached to camera, big straw hat.

17

I didn’t forget to share with you guys, I’m just chipping away at them, it is a process.

1: Delete OOF/Blurry photos
2: Select ‘picks’
3: Review ‘picks’ and filter out the best
4: first pass edits (crop, lens corrections) I’m here
5: Final filter pass
6: Edit them all.

But here are some to browse.
