Our talented staff includes not only professional photographers, but avid
motorsports enthusiasts and racers. We have worked our way through the ranks from Student
Drivers to Flagging and Communications Track Workers, Racers and Instructors. At some point
in time, we have been in your shoes, and we know what kinds of pictures you want to see.
We have seen and even purchased pictures from other motorsports photography professionals,
and we have committed ourselves to bring you the same quality, up-close, stop-action shots
that you know and love. But, at the same time, we would like to offer you a few new options
that we feel will separate us from the common group of motorsports photographers.
We know you like the up-close shots, zoomed in to capture the physics of yourself in
action, and we will definitely provide these pictures. However, at the same time, we would
like to offer a few more choices and the ability for you to add a little personal touch and
some of your own creativity to your picture. We will be shooting different styles of
pictures, which may contain multiple cars/bikes etc.. in the same image. Sometimes we feel
the best images are the ones that show you in action, while also showing what is going on
around you, like the guy setting up for the pass on your inside, or the guy who you
out-braked into turn-1 and is now left out on the dirty part of the track, losing traction.
You are still in the picture, but we feel the picture can tell a little more of the story
when there is a little more content included. Plus, sometimes you just want to see a little
more of the track behind you, so you can at least tell what track you're on.
We will offer some up-close, tight competition shots and some wide angle landscape
shots. You will have the ability to zoom and crop your images to your liking before you
order. With these abilities, come some very important responsibilities on your
part, in order to make your image look good in print. It is very important that you read and follow
the tips listed below when selecting and editing your images for printing. These tips
will help you in choosing the correct image, and keep you from making common mistakes
when editing your image. These common mistakes and misjudgments in image selection are
what keep other motorsports photographers from providing you with these types of images and
editing options. They don't want their name related to any bad prints. We want you to have
more variety in your pictures, and we want you to have some control over how your print
looks, so please read the tips, and help us to help you. Most importantly, have fun and
enjoy the images.
IMPORTANT IMAGE SELECTION AND EDITING TIPS:
1) Choose an image suitable for what you want to see. -This means pick an image that is
already a close-up of yourself, if that is what you want to see. Remember, if you zoom in
on yourself too much, your image will lose resolution and result in a bad print. Zooming
and cropping your image is fine, and can allow you to frame the image to your liking, but be
careful not to zoom too much, and make sure you preview your image before ordering, to
ensure a good print.
2) Use the magnification tool to look at yourself closely in the image before ordering the
print. Make sure YOU are the one in focus. In images where there are multiple subjects, not
all subjects will be in focus. Usually there are specific, and intended, subjects who are
the center of attention, and others may be the background that adds to the action. Many
pictures may include you, but not all of them are spot-lighting you. Please make sure YOU
are in focus. But remember, Images displayed on this site are not an accurate depiction of
photographic quality. Images are displayed at low resolutions to facilitate faster download
times. Your print will always look better than the online image.
3) After you select your image and select the product you want(ex. 5x7 or 8x10), you will click the order button.
At this point you will see a PREVIEW of the image you have selected. The size and content of this preview may differ
slightly from the original thumbnail-sized image you first selected. This change is due to the formatting process
that the image undergoes to fit in the print size you have chosen. As the print gets larger, more of the original
image must be chopped off on one or both sides to fit in the specified frame.
YOUR PRINT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS PREVIEW. If you don't like the way the preview looks, click the CROP/TONE button,
and use the "crop image" button and then the selection box to highlight the area of the image you would like to print. If part of your image is too close to the edge in the preview, the CROP/TONE tool and "Crop Image" button
can allow you to center the image to your liking.
After using the selection box to select the area to print, don't forget to click the "Finalize Crop" button, and then the "Add to Order" button again to continue the checkout process.
There is another option if you don't want your image chopped off at all, and
it's similar to the formatting of WideScreen in relation to films. Once
you have chosen your image to order, and you see the preview of your image, you
can choose "Full Image Print" instead of "Normal
Print". When this is done, your whole image will be printed, however
you will have a white border above and below your image(similar to Widescreen
TV), therefore the actual image will not fill an 8x10 frame. If you are framing
your image, we suggest you leave it set to "NORMAL PRINT", and CROP it
to your liking. If you have any questions, feel free to email us. We want you to be happy with your final prints.
