When I started writing this post I figured it would be a great to include the exact amount of photos I shot this entire year. Well I got halfway and realized that it might as well be one trillion, because that was how many it felt like I had shot. This past year was a growing year [...]
Holiday Greetings to all of you Speedhunters. I hope you’ve been able to take a moment to slow the pace down and take stock of your surroundings. I certainly have used this brief lull-in-action for some concentrated down-time and have been doing as little as humanly possible for the past week or so. Well, at [...]
As Speedhunters, the digital SLR camera is surely one of the most important tools of our trade. Without those big camera bodies and even bigger lenses, Speedhunters would probably not exist. Equally crucial though is the smart phone. Whether it’s communicating by email while traveling, checking up on comment discussions, or updating our social media [...]
The days between Christmas and New Year are always a strange time. In Japan for example, companies have already started shutting down for the big New Year holiday. Here in the US though things are different. For some people it's business as usual. For others it's extra days of vacation. I think most people though [...]
Nissan Silvia S15, EDC, Modified Live, Cadwell Park, United Kingdom 1/30th, f/9, ISO100, 50mm, Canon EOS 5D MKII & Sigma 50 F1.4 This is looking like one of my last posts of 2011, so apologies if I come over all emotional and reminiscent. It has been another incredible year where I’ve had the opportunity to [...]
BMW E30 318is, Nürburgring, Germany 2.5s, F/1.6, 24mm, ISO 2500 2011 felt like my fastest year to go by. I wasn’t able to Speedhunt as much as I had wanted to, which has given me an idea for my new year’s resolutions. If I were to sum up my Speedhunting year 2011, these images would remind me [...]
JULY: AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia, Spa, Belgium 1/800th, F/5.6, 600mm, ISO200 Canon EOS 5D/Canon 300mm F/2.8L-IS + 2x Extender Summer break? Not for Speedhunters. May to August is always one of the busiest times in the racing schedule: the meat of the season, where every weekend seems to involve planes, trains and automobiles – [...]
McLaren MP4-12C, Spa 24Hs, Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium Ok chaps, here's the third part to my review of 2011. It's been quite the year for me, with big a relocation from my native Vancouver, Canada to new digs in Stockholm, Sweden. I've now more or less stopped trans-Atlantic travel, with my life more firmly rooted in Europe [...]
Aston Martin, Spa 24hrs, Spa Francorchamps, Belgium Photos are like memories to me. They may not be the best photographs I've taken, but the story behind them and the memories they evoke are what matter to me. This year I've learned a lot, and I even got a new camera to capture more memories. In [...]
Free Practice Singtel Singapore Grand Prix, Marina Bay, Singapore If I had to single out just one moment to be my favourite of the year, I think this would have to be it. Turn 6 is the fastest corner of Singapore's Formula 1 street course, but being wedged between two skyscrapers means it's too tight to accomodate spectators. Except [...]
December is, by far, my favourite time of the year, and one of the things I enjoy the most is looking over the Photos of the Year posts put together my fellow Speedhunters. For my first of two parts, I’ve chosen 15 assorted images from my Japan trip back in April and May. Those of [...]
In Part 1 I showed you guys my picks for the most visually appealing photos from the past year. Now, on to my most impactful and best story-telling photos of the year. (Above) Formula Drift Las Vegas, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Nevada, United States In this photo, Rhys may be thanking a higher power, or perhaps [...]
Aasbo Vs McNamara, BDC @ Trax Show, Silverstone Circuit, UK1/4000th, f/2.8, ISO50, 400mm, Canon EOS 5D MKII & Canon EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM Hello Speedhunters. I hope you're enjoying our Photos of the Year 2011 edition! Like you, I'm finding it quite interesting to look at the various Speedhunters Photographers' take on these series of [...]
My 'Photos of the Year' post is a short one this time, as I didn't get the chance to venture out in 2011; mainly due to my 'day job' at Need for Speed. My year started on a big high at the Dubai Autodrome for the 24 hour endurance race. A relatively new event, it came of [...]
I feel I need to take a slightly different approach to my Photos of the Year for 2011. The year for me wasn’t really spent Speedhunting like it was for many members of the team, 2011 meant a lot of time in front of a computer working hard at trying to make our latest Need [...]
