ALL SCOPED UP PHOTOGRAPHY

ALL SCOPED UP

I'm just frustrated.

Photo info first...

Pic 1: 1/1000" f/4.0 ISO 320 40mm @pghvintagegp
@pghcnc
Pic 2: 1/13" f/16 ISO 125 80mm Also @ the PVGP
Pic 3: 1/40" f/25 ISO 100 188mm @alloutwarohio

Hope this gets buried somehow. But I promised I'd use this page for me.

I just need to vent for a second - honestly for a minute. Hour? Day?

I truly cannot wait until I am done with this Ph.D. Frustrations with the graduate school. Frustrations with papers. Frustrations with candidacy. Frustrations with funding. Frustrations with timelines.

This past year has been just limbo. Frustrations with creating progress. Frustrations with mental health. Frustrations with disorders. Frustrations with learning. Frustrations with self discrepancy.

I'll get there. Eventually.

I have to.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for all of the memories. Hopefully by February/March, I will have something to announce.....

Thank you to all the friends and family. I went and have been going through a lot the last half of the year, so I appreciate all the help, support, and guidance. ❤️

THE PRIVATE EVENT

I guess I'll be a videographer too. Still working on getting stuff out since life came up. Starting some more practice with After Effects. Still have some work to do, but glad the vision somewhat manifested. Also posting at 1am>>>>>

All Out War is an all out war that goes all out. In war.

@alloutwarohio @established.wrld @gr_drift_series @driftindy

Stayed around 1/20" as shutter speed for most of the day and was changing aperture. Got about 10 5/5 shots out of the 2552 pictures. Still trying to figure how I want to edit some. I have others with a fast shutter speed but those are easier to do. I want to improve.

Thank you @shogun.driven for this experience. So happy to meet some great people and practice some track photography.

I finally achieve the goal of a shutter speed of something below 1/8 of a second. First photo is prob my best technical photo so far. I'm just excited for future growth.

@motul Hill climb at @pghvintagegp #pvgp
July 20, 2025
All shots were 1/8" or 1/10" shutter speed. Most of them I was standing next to the trees

Also ya it was the depression speaking. Went on a run, leg hurts, knee hurts, but depression gone.

Press the dots at the bottom and scroll to the left and right. Which zoom length do you like the most?

I've thought about doing this for a while. I wanted to show the impact of compression and zoom length. Finally the last shot shows the difference in lens and an a polarizer. It has the exact same edits, crop, and slider values.

O'Reillys Auto Parts 4 Hours of Mid Ohio

My first IMSA Race!

Definitely learned a lot while taking photos. Obviously, I have been working on panning shots. If you have some advice, let me know! :)

Biggest lessons:

1) For the panning shots, I have to use manual focus more often. In too many shots, the auto focus keeps searching or just misses the car. I need to sit in manually focus a spot on track and precisely shoot that shot. I think I was too busy getting some of everything.

2) Throughout the day I wanted to achieve a shutter of 1/5 but the lowest I successfully got was 1/8. Close but not it. One thing I should have changed was the custom Autofocus setting to have a locked on subject instead of making it responsive. I had the acceleration/deceleration and point auto switching high but the tracking sensitivity was too much. I believe that would help more with panning. Also in my head I knew panning with a short focal length would be easier. Practice with 300mm was fun 🙃 but we are getting better.

3) Coming in with a plan is a must. While it was helpful getting practice with panning and finding good compositions, if I had come in with a more solidified plan, I would be okay. I needed a strategy for who to cover and when. I needed a strategy for when to take different types of shots. Regardless, I do this because I love cars, motorsports, photography, and learning. I definitely remember sitting at turn 2 watching in awe.

4) I need to clean my sensor. I will post my mistakes but after this I'll edit out the spots. I'm planning to post some of my worst shots later.

5) Having buddies who have been to the track is always a plus. Thanks @pghsupercars for the help and map. Dudes a fuckin beast. Also helped talkin to @benborv.jpg and @pierreg.14 for a bit.
