Hi all, I’m Steve, a long term motorsport fan and general addict of all things motoring. This is my first time on Speedhunters, so please be gentle! About two years ago, in an effort to try and capture some of the memorable moments from the sports I enjoy watching so much, I decided to buy a DSLR [...]
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question we’re all faced with at some point as a child, and most of us will have a pretty creative answer. Sadly the majority never go on to realize these childhood dreams, but there are a select few like Christian von Koenigsegg who [...]
I guess this one has been a long time coming. How fast #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER has evolved since its inception is quite staggering actually. This week we’re going to show some love to those of you who have been populating Instagram with some of the best automotive content we’ve ever seen captured on a mobile device. The [...]
Another month, another challenge. We’ve already covered colour, shutter speed and aperture in previous #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER themes, but this time we want you to show us your black and white skills. Black and white photography is often misrepresented as being colour photography without the colour. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve seen desaturated [...]
We hope you have been enjoying our American theme thus far. There have been some really fascinating articles since Wednesday, ones that should further expand your automotive tastes. For now though, it’s time to hand things over to you guys. Last week we asked for your America, and here are 25 of the best submissions… [...]
While I will allow my fellow Speedhunters to show us the wonders of the world wide Hot Rod and Customs scene during our “USA” theme this week, my approach will purely concentrate on the Japanese take of it all. Ever since joining Speedhunters back in 2009 I have began nurturing quite the love for this [...]
Earlier this month, we set you the challenge of demonstrating your control over depth of field. As was expected, you replied with hundreds of submissions. After spending a couple of days sorting through them, I’ve finally picked what I think to be the 30 best images. There was a lot of similar submissions for this. [...]
This all happened by accident really. What was meant to be a relaxing weekend away, abruptly turned into a fevered hunt for speed. I wouldn’t mind, but I specifically chose the French capital to purposely get away from any sort of car culture for a few days. One of the largest population centres in all of Europe surely couldn’t lend itself to being a hospitable host to an auto-enthusiast, could it?
Another week down, another batch of superb submissions have come in through our various channels. For no particular reason and mostly by coincidence, this week’s batch of images primarily rotate around what happens on the race track. I’m sure you’ll notice familiar names along with some new ones, again this isn’t done on purpose. We [...]
Next week we’re going to be having a little celebration of all things US of A. Never to be left out, #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER is reaching out to you to submit your best photographs of all things American automotive. Not to be confused with #FEATURETHIS – which is all about your cars – IATS is all about [...]
As automotive enthusiasts, we have developed a serious problem. You see, I think we now spend too much time obsessing about the details and/or the latest styles and trends. We spend too much time in front of a computer screen or with our noses buried in literature trying to figure out new ways to make [...]
Next up in our quickly-becoming-regular guest features, is Dutch photographer Rens Adams. Those of you who follow #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER should be familiar with Rens, including some of his impressive black and white work. Take it away Rens… Hi everyone! My name is Rens Adams and I’m a photographer from the Netherlands. When I was younger, I [...]
Early in February I was planning a visit to the UK to shoot some cars and I got in touch with Richard Good at KW Automotive UK regarding their Focus ST. He put me in touch with Ben Chandler and Mark Riccioni who suggested we head to Wales. Since I would be rolling off the [...]
So, we’re about to kick off three days of FF madness and we thought what better way to start than by letting you to get this party started. Last week, we asked you to send in your absolute best photographs of FWD cars and oh my, what a response there was. I think it’s all [...]
For some reason, it has felt like an eternity since our last #IAMTHESPEEDHUNTER post. This post however has been a long time coming as we can finally share the best submissions from the Slow Shutter Speed theme we posted earlier in the month. After many hundreds of submissions, we picked out the best photographs which [...]
