Portfolio part III [i]

The amalgamation continues. Faq for anyone redirected here:

Q: Are you Rick Clemson?
Maybe. Wait, no. But he did get a cool photo of me, fill flash and everything. Rick sticks it out every weekend and brings joy to the masses, in the form of photos. I, on the other hand, am taking a portfolio class and chose street bikes as a subject. As such, I'm in it to nab a few good images rather than pleasing everyone.

However I did quite enjoy myself riding and shooting Paly and Angeles Crest.



Q: Why am I all blurry?
A: Short answer, low shutter speed. Long answer, in order to capture the blistering speed at which you're hitting the twisties, I have to expose for a long time to blur the background. It's very hit-or-miss (for someone of my caliber) so oftentimes the subject will be blurred as well. Indulge yourself and scroll down to my various autocross and drift even photos and you'll see the difference between panned and not panned.

Q: Dude, I was on the mountain but there's no photo of me. Whattup?
A: As of midnight Sunday night/Monday morning, I've only put up a few images. Say about 25%. I'm working on it, jeez, gimme a break. You're always on my case.



Q: Take me offa your page!
A: Well that really isn't a question. But if you comment or write me I'll pull you off asap, I don't want to get anyone in trouble. Plates were taken off the photos, rest assured.

Q: Your photos look like puke.
A: Well your face looks like puke. The above q&a might address some things. Also know photo editing is an iterative process, especially when stylistic compromises are made to, say, shoot fast moving objects in 1000 degree heat.



Q: One art please.
A: My flickr has some higher res images. I'm not really sure how detailed they go, but if you're really interested in something noncompressed just shoot me an email.
