VMAX Photography for e-magazine
Discussion
Hello VMAXers,
I'll be @ VMAX on Sunday to photograph the event for an upcoming web magazine, hopefully I'll be able to catch up with a few old faces too! One shot in particular that I'd like to capture is a group rolling shot of some VMAX cars.... whats that then I hear you ask?
Basically the plan is I hang out the back of Craigs RS6, we'll be doing 30-35mph and you guys follow a few feet back whilst I snap away. I expect us to have 7 or so cars in the front group. Rest of the day I'll be shooting various things to try and capture what VMAX is all about, will try and (hopefully!) grab a couple of pax rides so I can shoot from in car too.
It looks like there may be a little precipitation on Sunday, so I'll be keeping an eye out for bottom bend heroics too (ie, some drifting action ).
As always I'll try to make sure I get a decent shot of all of your cars and will make them available as prints.
cheers,
Steve

steve, you know you can rely on me, my friend, for some slideyness
Anything i can do to help you - just let me know - i'm looking forward to catching up - you taking the bmw?
Good stuff, one shot I'd quite like to try (given time etc) is car to car of someone drifting behind the camera car - maybe we could try to make that work, otherwise I'll be shooting around bottom bend as usual.Anything i can do to help you - just let me know - i'm looking forward to catching up - you taking the bmw?
Probably will take the Beemer as being a hatchback its a pretty decent camera car (oh and it drifts well so we may do a shot with the art director shooting me drifting behind a camera car )

Hopefully given a couple of runs, I should have the measure of space needed - it was surprisingly easy to control on the track day I did...
Looking forward to it!

The group shot is i guess best at the start of the day, as Craig runs all the cars round for one lap which includes a little blat down the main runway in some kind of mild formation, then we all gather at the bottom of said runway for quick briefing. Makes sense & so as not to hinder the number of hot runs (unless done at lunchtime), to request some kind of formation down the runway during the initial lap??

Exactly whats planned! When Craig runs the cars round first time, I'll be hanging out the back of his RS6 taking shots Gassing Station | Events & Meetings | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
