All,

My name is Erik Anderson and am owner of Erik Anderson Designs, a midwest photo outfit specializing in motorsports photography. I've been speaking with Wes and the Expo coordinators on providing professional photography for Expo5 . Briefly, I'm equipped to to burn image CDs and print up to 13"x19" prints on-site. I work with labs to print 20x30 posters and beyond.

I would like to tailor print and/or digital packages to your needs if that's of interest, otherwise, I can provide everything a la carte. I'm interested in what feedback you have so I can provide what you would most like to leave the Expo with. Here's a few photos from our autocross this past weekend. I look forward to your feedback on the Expo! Thank you!

 

I can vouch for Erik and his pics, he's g00t guy!

 

my car isnt exactly picture worthy lol

 

Really awesome, my car might not be that picture worthy, but its defenetly worth it for me

 

will look forward to the photos

 

if you are going to be there all week end I would be interested in a bunch of random pics of the event to kind of document the whole thing if you know what I mean
I would alsobe interested in some quality pics of my r on the track

 

I know they're autocross pics, but some of those are making me cringe. Safety-wise, that is - they're all *excellent* photos

 

Can we vote for who we want to be our pic snapper?

Sorry to crash a thread, but with out this I would have never thought of it

I'd plan on being there both track days over the weekend as well as any other events (e.g. the banquet). Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm sure that Wes or one of the coordinators could discuss voting. I will mention some of the advantages that I bring to the event:

-I'm only photographing the event, not driving. It allows me to focus on getting solid shots of everyone.
-I have an assistant who can review photos with you during the day as the event progresses
-I can print & burn on-site with the plan that most if not all orders will be complete by Sunday afternoon.
-I guarantee that you'll be more than satisfied with your purchase.
-I'll have free beer in my EZ-UP (juuuust kidding).

I'm very interested in being part of Expo5 and look forward to additional feedback. Thank you!

 

Good pics. Do you have any pics from high-speed track events?

I think picture taking is a great idea. I would be interested.

I have shot @ Hallett & TWS. Those photos are not currently online nor are they with the higher quality equipment that I currently have. Is there a specific style or angle that you were looking for an example of? I suggest taking a look at my North Texas S2K autocross galleries from 2004 for high speed examples. Mineral Wells is square 1/4 mile of concrete and depending on the course is ~1.3 miles IIRC. You can see examples of my panning techniques in those galleries: http://www.erikandersondesigns.com/gallery.htm Thank you!

Thanks for the compliments! I try to mix things up with the non-racing parts of the events since it's really about the people and experiences there. I'll have an assistant with me which will allow me to concentrate on shooting all day both on and off the track.

just one suggestion, how about shooting it with a little slower shutter speed or the panning technique to capture the "motion" instead of "freezing" the moment.

"somehow"... i think "a" professional "photographer" would "know" the "panning" "technique"

"penpen"


and ludikris: cool!!! i think those will be the fun ones.... looking forward to seeing your stuff out there hopefully i'll have some time in between my driving/instructing sessions to play with my baby DSLR

Just keep the camera away from the camping grounds... it's like that Vegas commercial, what happened there, stays there.
