I saw a lot of photographers shooting at NJMP this weekend. Does anyone know any names of any and their sites?

Wendy Mellinger was there too. I talked with her and she told me she will work hard to post pictures up fast as she can. Email her at info@wendymellinger.com
He isn't a pro, but Dodge was also out there shooting a few.

Hey Carnage.. (great name for a road racer.. hehehehehe) Thanks for the post up.. 'Appreciate it.. Hopefully, I'll get through these soon enough and start posting by the weekend.. Funny, I didn't see that many photogs out there.. a few 'over the fence' folks..
Then there were the ones that I know work hard to get 'the shot'...
Lynn H.
Wendy M.
Myself.. (had to put myself in this category)
Didn't even see Kathy (skin & leather) she was there?
Saw a couple of others, but didn't really know them, talked to one guy that was shooting for N8! (had met him before) and met a shooter for the track.. but that was about it.. Oh well.. Hopefully, some of my shots come out.. New track, learning the new 'rhythm' of the place and where to shoot from.. Tried a few places that I don't think worked that well.. But I haven't gotten a good look at everything yet.. So we'll see soon enough..
Once again, thanks for the great racing and letting me run around like a madman taking pictures everywhere I go!
Pete, I got a shot of you inside the Bowl Turn!!! When Bob Michael finally gets the pics off his camera, I'll send it to you!

She was there but only for a very short time. No camera. Just stopped to say hello on her way to vacation land.

One of the few times where it seemed like I never saw any over the fence (on the track) photographers while I was out there...

Someone said she was, I never saw her though.
Does anyone have Lynn H website?
My wife posted some pictures taken at NJMSP. She did not take alot, due to the lack of prime photographing locations. They can be viewed at:

I saw more photographers at the track then what were listed on this page. Saw a photographer shooting from turn 2 at NJMP
NJMP has an official track photographer. Shared a lunch table with the guy.
Unfortunately, I don't think they show or sell their photos. :-(

Then what's the point???
Maybe you will end up in thier newsletter..lol.
Ok.. As with all things.. Some good news.. some bad.. I (like the rest of us) was learning the track at NJMP (I'd shot Thunderbolt, but not Lightning before) and as with all things.. There is a learning curve. Not all the races are (IMO) up to my usual standards.
Saturday morning sure was foggy.. looking at the paddock shots you'd think I was using some weird filter or something for a lot of those shots.. Oh well.. The important part is..
I've posted the first 8 from Saturday so far (still sorting and creating webpages for the rest) and will be putting those up as I am finished with them.
Interesting place to try and shoot as there is VERY limited access for 'Us' to get around the track. Sunday I even got called out by one of the corner workers.. Just as the race went green. (that hasn't happened in an long time) and scrambled to get to an 'acceptable' place. Just wish he'd said something when I was shooting the previous race from that point, so I would have known to move earlier..
As for the ones I screwed up, well.. it was a settings thing... As you know, what works in one place does not work in another.. I feel horrible about it, but when you get to those races, just know that next time.. I'm gonna be ready for that area and promise to do MUCH better..

Nice pics :)
I can't wait to see the one's from Sunday.

Hi all - really sorry I missed the weekend but I was off to Europe to do some riding of my own... Deal's Gap ~ Tail of the Dragon has nothing on the twisties of Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany :)
I did shoot the NYSBC track day on Thursday, pics are going up today, so if you came a day early to practice, I might have a few of you. I second Pete's comments about the weather and learning the good shooting angles at the track...
See y'all next time!
