I had an assignment for my photojournalism class to document a local event put on by a local organization. I chose the Autocross event at University of North Carolina of Greensboro's Park N Ride Lot Sept 20th by Triad Sports Car Club (TSCC).
This was my first time trying to capture moving cars with a new digital camera. My camera would only focus with the lens it came with and I had to manually focus with my other lens, which I found difficult to do while panning, focusing, checking the shutter speed and light meter all at once before the car moves out of the frame.
I also had to show before, during, after, and behind-the-scenes. I shot over 100 pictures, but I chose the ones I think that are the best...
1. Setting up -
2. Sparco seats in a Ford Focus -
3. Checking Fluids -
4. Passing Tech Inspection -
5. Awaiting Tech Inspection -
6. Inside the Van where the timing occurs -
7 . Everything loose has to be out of the car, place mats, spare tire, etc. 1980's Toyota MR2 and a Porsche Carrera -
8. 2009 Nissan GT-R, worth over $72,000 -
9. Cobra 427 (if I'm not mistaken) worth over $100,000 -
10.
11. Honda S2000 -
12. Honda S2000 Redbull Carbon Canister -
13. Honda CRX Sticky Tires -
14. MG Midget Interior -
15. GT-R, 300ZX, and GTO
16. Drivers walking the course to learn the turns before they drive. This lady got in the way of the shot and I decided to keep it.
17. Cobra Slaloming -
18. Honda FIT and Impreza STi -
19. Start line -
20. GT-R crossing the finish. If any car hits that box, they have to pay $200-$299 to replace it. -
21. 3 Wheels -
22. Miata -
23. Miata Lady -
24. Trophies in the form of beer glasses with the TSCC logo etched on them -
25. TSCC official cleaning up with his daughter -
