2011 Season Photos :: AKPhotoDenver.com

[JustSomeDude]

Galleries from July 30 and 31 races at HPR will be updated as I complete my edits. You can expect to see at least one new gallery (hopefully more) every day for the next few days. As you may know, I individually edit each and every photo that makes it through my sort. This is a very time consuming process. Your patience is appreciated!

Also, please check out the Fritts Photo thread (http://forums.mra-racing.org/viewtopic.php?t=13333)... he's a good friend of mine with some killer photog skills. Considering it was his first time ever photographing a race - his results are out of control!

Awesome pics!!! I'll hit you up for an order tonight. You need to get that one with the lightning published, that's amazing!!!

[Mforza]

NGTO? :)

[JustSomeDude]

NGTO? :)

Sorry for the delay... they're coming!! I had a paid gig that needed final edits turned around on a very short timeline. I just finished that project and am back on my NGTO edits.

I'll post a reply here when they are fully uploaded. Please bear with me!! :D

That awesome picture is of me. Can you make it in poster size cause I for sure want a copy :D

[JustSomeDude]

I was out at HPR for both days this past weekend (7/30 and 7/31). Due to a MFA (micro focus adjustment) issue on Saturday, I'll likely be offering all of those full-res photos for free.

Also, I'm getting my shutter speeds down to 1/100th and 1/125th, so you guys will be getting some sweet motion blurs.

Sample of what's to come (click to enlarge):

Check back around Thursday or Friday for full gallery posts. Thanks for your patience!

Please see original post for updates. I probably won't be posting every time I add a gallery, simply because I don't want to clutter the forum with "new" posts.

Also, here's some Grubby turn 2 action...

THAT IS AWESOME!!!! :D

OH and what even more awesome is the pics are gonna be free!!!

Don't get too excited... my micro focus adjustment was set to an incorrect value all day Saturday. In a nutshell, this means that even when the camera thinks it has locked focus on the subject, it is actually a smidgen out of focus.

At 4x6 printing, and most desktop resolutions (1024x768, 1920x1280, etc.), it *should* be undetectable. However, at full resolution it is obvious - meaning enlarged prints would look atrocious. As a result I've made the decision not to charge for those photos.

Thank you all for a great 2011 season! As things cool down I'm getting hammered with a lot of portrait calls as the holiday season gears up. But I promise to be back out there shooting you all again next spring. I also updated my website and used a ton of photos from the races to populate my racing gallery. Here's my blog post announcing the new gallery:

http://www.akphotodenver.com/2011/10/17/motorcycle-racing-photography-new-gallery-added/

Thanks again to everyone - and those who purchased photos. It certainly helps fund trips out to the track!

See you all in 2012!!
