QuoteOk, now I never found this picture above.

How did that come up.  I only saw, like, some picture of the #1 guys and that was it.



There are like 40 pages of thumbnails. This is located on page 12, which was missing its index file until he fixed it later. So you wouldn't have seen it eariler.

The pics are indexed by comp. numbers. The higher your number is, the later in the list you are. Just keep going until you see your number. He doesn't take much of the amateurs. He takes "print" quality photographs that can be used in hi-res commercial printing like posters (well you can use anything but my standards are high). I am not sure AM's have the same need for his equipment and skill.

There are lots of photographers at the track taking pics. If you are just looking for pics to show your friends, you probably aren't going to appreciate his work.

Just cause I'm an amateur doesn't mean I don't know, or appreciate, photography.  Besides, what do you think would be more impressive to my friends - a far off, pixilated shot of me on the track - or one of these that makes you look like you're suitable for framing?

I was not actually disagreeing with you, I am just stating my provocative for buying photos. Actually I would never buy a photo to frame it and hang on my wall, I would however make a poster with myself on it lol

BTW, you have to wait til when he totally updates his site. Last year at summit point he shot 3 amateur races and had hundreds of pics of AM's. The gallery you looking at is the "best of" gallery, not the entirety of his photos.

There are also others at the track that take hi-res photos, you should check them out as well.

and finally, for personal use, me personally is ok with not having the best equipment and quality, just "good enough". A good photo can be just the content. If it is clear enough, and contains the right angle, action, moment you are looking for, wouldn't it be ok for you to use for personal use? It is all about what it captures.

I agree he should take more pics of AM's. I was always dissappointed when I was a AM that he never took more pics of me. But you can email him and ask, he may have them, just not posed.
