[Reiteration from what I posted on the MRA Forum]

Just finished loading the last of them just now.

http://www.jadamphotography.com/

Trying things a little bit different this time to get a faster turn around. All the photos are posted by class. The galleries aren't very flooded so it shouldn't be hard to find the ones you want while peaking at a few other riders.

I listed all the practices as one gallery, but those are listed by rider number since there are I think around 500 images in there.

As some of you might have noticed out there on the track I was trying out a new method of shooting. I dug a little hole at the end of the corner curbing and put a second camera with a fisheye lens right up close and fired wirelessly.

Still working out the kinks from this new approach as a number weren't able to focus form the high speeds and close proximity to the camera. I'll be working out the details and hopefully improving the shots in the future. In the mean time I've got a gallery dedicated to the new angle. I need to find a way to organize the shots from the camera so it wont be so overwhelming for you guys next time. But I gotta start somewhere.

If you want to order one of those shots and would prefer I re-crop it so that there is not so much negative/empty space I can do it like the following example image...

Also some of the shots are under exposed as I am not able to sit there and tinker with the camera as you guys are on a hot lap, but all that can be balanced in post processing. So don't let that discourage you... another example...

I have to give you all the credit that is due for creativity. That was an excellent idea with great follow through to fruition. I am still amazed at how awesome those shots turned out. GREAT JOB!!!

Thanks everyone. It's really great getting all this positive feedback on the shots. I still have some tweaking and experimenting to get them exactly how I want them, but I am quite happy with this first batch.

Maui if you are interested in some posters head over to my web site and you can order really easy from there. If I get enough people interested I will have a few choice images at the end of the season that I will make up large batch of posters of and have for sale.

Congratulations to all the race winners this weekend. I had a really great time out there.

I have no clue. I only saw him for a second when he passed me between 9 and 10 on the last lap. Too bad he couldn't hold his line thru 10 cuz I got him right back on the exit just before the finish line :alien:

Jadam, beautiful pictures. Everyone looks really good. I didn't see that crash but it looks pretty nasty, hope the rider was ok.

Any time. I'm all about sharing what I know. In all honesty it helps me understand better what I'm doing when I to have to put in words to explain to another. I can always use an extra hand on shoots. One of my assistants canceld on me before a shoot I had this morning :( So an extra hand is always helpful and you learn a lot from it. I assist photographers when I can as well.

Above the image on the intro page is my portfolio with a bunch of different work and below that is a link called 'Event Photo Gallery' which is a gallery for all freelance work I shoot.

heres a direct link to the fish eye shots. LINKAGENESS (http://www.jadamphotography.com/photocart/index.php?do=photocart&viewGallery=1045)

Yea, it was Chris. Suprisingly enough he was perfectly fine. From watching it, it looked like he came down really really hard, but somehow he lucked out and walked away just fine. Can't say the same for the bike. He told me he was probably going to have to get a new on... an R6 maybe :yay:

I would love to get together with you sometime. I haven't had any formal training as I am amateur at best. Would love to try to help you out a shoot and learn.

(without meaning to threadjack) My son, Jack, took a bunch of pics, and here is Casey passing him back right before the finish line:
