Being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic has it's perks. While sitting still, I was able to grab a few images to create a panorama. Not the easiest thing to do since you have to account for cars going by in the other direction. A bit of good timing and fast shutter speeds help pull it off.
Round 4 2015 /
With the 2015 drift season coming to a close, I decided to doing something special since this would be my last for the season. I wanted to rent a longer lens since the 70-200mm at times comes up short. I wanted a lens with a bit more reach on the track. I had one lens in mind and that was the new Nikon 200-500mm F5.6. So I went to my favorite place to rent photography gear and put in my rental. Everything went just fine...except for a few days later. I got a call a few days later that the lens I wanted didn't come back into time. But I was given two options, the Sigma 150-600mm Sport or the Nikon 200-400 F4. I choose the Nikon and was not prepared for the sheer size. That goes without saying, a monopod was packed for the day.
As a bonus, I took my GoPro and attached it on to the hotshoe of my camera. I got some footage of the drifting from my point of view. It's a view not often seen. I love that you can even hear the shutter even with the screeching of the tires and engines roaring as the cars go by.
Tunica Hills /
I went to do something out of my normal comfort zone, it's somewhere I wanted to check out but haven't had the chance. It's a beautiful place, I have to go back in the near future.
NODRFT Private Event 2015 /
Downtown Baton Rouge /
It was a hot Sunday afternoon, I spent exploring downtown Baton Rouge. Walking around with nearly empty roads and taking in the sights. Essentially being a tourist in my own town. In the past when I was downtown with my camera, it was for work and indoors. This time it was just for me and on my own time.
