V-LEDS & Intec Racing Formula Drift Nissan S14

The team debuts their car for the 2010 season

V-LEDS & Intec Racing Formula Drift Nissan S14

Intec Racing has been apart of the drift scene for several years now, but this year they are taking an entirely new approach. With a new title sponsor, V-LEDS and newly built S14, they are looking very poised to do well this season.

The car will be driven by Dean "Karnage" Kearney, a very talented driver from Ireland. We were very fortunate to be invited out to the teams press release this past Monday at Evergreen Motor Speedway in Monroe, WA. 

Enjoy the pictures! More information will come soon!

Automotive Photographers: Camera Armor

How many times have you attached your camera to your rig, only to cross your heart and pray that nothing happens that would result in damage? 

We had a recent visit to the Camera Armor staff in Seattle, WA, who is now a part of the Lowepro Familia. We met with product designer Scott Comins and Senior Vice President Graeme Esarey and talked about their role of saving gear and your pocket book.

Sneak Preview: How to Digitally Photograph Cars

We received an advance copy of How to Digitally Photograph Cars by Jason Siu and Josh Mackey

Sneak Preview: How to Digitally Photograph Cars

About nine months ago, Josh Mackey and myself came up with the idea to author a book focusing strictly on how to digitally photograph cars.  With how photography has changed over the years and the amount of people that are now interested in it, especially automotive photography, we felt that this was a great time to share a lot of the knowledge and experience we've gained over the years.  The biggest advantages we felt that this book had is the fact that neither Josh or myself came from a photography-educated background.  Both of us learned how to shoot cars out of interest and were able to turn it into a career.  We just received our advance copies of the book which is now available for pre-order on websites such as Amazon.com.  I decided to take several photos highlighting each chapter in the book in hopes of garnering your interest to pre-order a copy.  We would greatly appreciate the support and the more initial sales we get, the more willing the brick-and-mortar stores are willing to carry it.  It'll be sampled at about 50 Barnes & Nobles initially and we would really like to see that number go up.  So if you have any interest what so ever in digitally photographing cars, head on out and pre-order a copy today please!  More previews of the book and description after the jump.

How To Digitally Photograph Cars

An inside description of what this upcoming book by Josh Mackey and myself will cover

How To Digitally Photograph Cars

Over a year ago I was hired by Cartech Books to author a book on rebuilding the infamous Honda B-series engine.  After that book was off to print I was trying to think of what else I could author for Cartech.  Sitting down with Josh Mackey, he tossed the idea of authoring a book on photographing cars.  After years of being published in various publications we figured we definitely had the collection of photos and hopefully the know-how to publish such a book.  Cartech took the offer and in just three months we got everything done.  A breakdown of the book after the jump.
