Here's a sampling of shots from the weekend. These are all digital. I have more on film but haven't started scanning slides yet.

As of a week ago I am unemployed :cry: (aside from my photography business that is). Any leads on clients or work would be greatly appreceated. (I live in Santa Cruz, CA)

Unsolicited plug for msvphoto:

I've ordered prints from Mike, and they are top quality. Check out his site, he's got tons of CART, ALMS and Historics photos, they look great framed!

Absolutely stunning photos you have there! Thank you so much for sharing.

Great pics! I swear that champ cars are a work of art, they should put one is some fancy museum somewhere!:)

What kind of digital camera are you using Mike? Im looking to get something that takes good pictures like that.

Thank you again.

For digital I use an Olympus E10, sometimes with the 1.4X extender lens. Those images will have file names beginning with "P."

For film I use either an Olympus OM-4t or OM-2S body. Head on shots with an Olympus Zuiko 350mm f2.8 (sometimes with the matched 1.4X extender) and panned shots usually with a Tamron SP 80-200 f2.8 zoom. Film is Provia F 100. Those images will have file names begining with "cot03."

For a few shots I got to play with a freind's new Canon EOS D60 with a L 100-400 IS zoom lens. A fantastic combination. I was really just hacking away with it for around 15 minutes at turn 6, but wound up with a few shots I liked. Those images have file names beging with "IMG."

By the way, aside from a few potential clients and friends, this week offcamber and the imsaracing.net forums are the only forums you'll see these linked from. Offcamber semi-exclusivity! (For now anyway...) They aren't even linked from my own site front page yet. Anyway, hope you enjoy them...

And yes, feel free to use as wallpaper, screensaver, etc. as long as it is personal use only. For commercial use, please contact me first.

Awesome pictures. The one on this page (http://www.motorsportvisions.com/lsot03/pages/cot03_09.htm) is just begging for a "caption this photo."
