FRAMES Chapter 2: What it’s like to shoot the Queen’s Cup steeplechase horse race

07 Jun

From horsepower to horse power, ‘FRAMES Chapter 2’ shares a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to go from the streets and courses of Formula 1 and World Endurance Championship racing to the first type of racing photographer Jamey Price fell in love with—horse racing.

Unlike the ‘FRAMES Chapter 1,’ which showed what it took to cover a 24-hour endurance race, ‘FRAMES Chapter 2 ‘follows Price as he covers the 23rd Queen’s Cup in Charlotte, North Carolina. As Price narrates throughout the video, the steeplechase horse race presents a unique challenge, both similar and different to motorsports races.

Throughout the six-minute video, we see what it takes to capture the various races throughout the day and, spoiler: it involves a lot of remote cameras (both DSLRs and GoPros), a day of planning, plenty of patience and sacrifice in terms of deciding what shots you capture and what ones you have to hold onto until next year.

Price was kind enough to share a few behind the scenes photos with DPReview:

The video was filmed and produced by Austin Gager. You can find more of Jamey’s work on his website.

FRAMES, Chapter 1: What it’s like shooting a 24-hour endurance car race

03 May

Motorsport and sports photography can be an exhausting in the best of circumstances—lugging around incredibly large and heavy lenses, not to mention multiple camera bodies, and scrambling to edit and file images ASAP. But Chapter 1 of the short documentary series FRAMES covers something a whole order of magnitude more difficult: shooting a 24-hour endurance race.

The 12-minute video follow professional motorsport photographer Jamey Price as he prepares for and tries his best to survive the grueling TOTAL 24 hours of Spa at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium.

This is one of the most prestigious endurance races in the world, and the short documentary gives you just a glimpse at what it takes shoot for 24 hours straight, stay awake for close to 40 hours, hike miles worth of race track, and survive the whole experience on a few bits and pieces of junk food you scrounged along the way. It is, in a word: fascinating.

And for just a bit more motivation, Jamey was kind enough to share some of his photos from the race with us, which you can see in the gallery below:

$ (document).ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({“containerId”:”embeddedSampleGallery_9129892619″,”galleryId”:”9129892619″,”isEmbeddedWidget”:true,”selectedImageIndex”:0,”isMobile”:false}) });

Almost as interesting as the behind the scenes look itself is the story of how FRAMES was made… or almost not made. Bringing even a short doc to the public can be a herculean effort, even when you have the money, the backers, and interest from the media to share what you’ve created.

Jamey details the whole process in a blog post that will either inspire you to embark on your own such journey or scare you out of ever trying it.

From a successful Kickstarter, to the Daytona 24 saying “no,” to the film’s original producer backing out just three weeks before the Spa 24, the journey from idea to final product was almost as grueling as shooting the race itself. So watch the video above, read Jamey’s blog post for an even deeper behind-the-scenes dive, and let us know what you think about FRAMES and the idea of shooting race cars for 24 hours straight.

Chapter 11: Eleven Eerie Closed & Abandoned Libraries

02 Feb

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ]

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Better dead than read? Though the librarians’ shushing days are long past, you still won’t find many places quieter than these 11 abandoned libraries.

When the Soviet Union finally fell, it fell hard… just like the uncountable number of books, pamphlets and manuals at this abandoned scientific and technical library somewhere in Russia. While a case may be made for tech manuals being out of date and thus superfluous, there’s still something to be said about the terrible waste of knowledge almost completely covering the former library’s floors. The above images were taken in March of 2008 by jst-ru.

Stitched Panorama

Our valiant photo-documentarian returned to the abandoned library in February of 2011 only to witness an unbelievable sight: every last trashed book had been removed and the floors swept so clean they could practically be eaten off of! Who could have done this and what happened to all of those books? Somehow one doubts the literature was salvaged and donated to other libraries; instead we’re guessing someone in the neighborhood enjoyed a warmer winter than usual.

Outta Cass

Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Michigan opened in 1917, and twenty-five years later the eight-story brick & limestone edifice was the largest high school in the state with 4,200 students attending. Among the school’s more noteworthy alumni are singer Diana Ross and musician Jack White, both of whom no doubt visited the school’s well-stocked library to research their projects.

In 2005, however, Cass Tech moved to a new building leaving quite a lot behind in the old one. Are those metal detectors just inside the library’s doors? These incredible “Now and Then” images from Detroiturbex superimpose the Cass’s vibrant past onto its sorry present.

It’s Miller Time!

“The Miller Avenue Library in Oakland has been abandoned for a few years, it seems”, according to Flickr user aaron.michels, who captured the above images on May 22nd of 2008. One clue alluding to the time of its abandonment is the discarded library card of a presumed twenty-something born in 1955. Pornstache FTW!

22 September, 2010 – The Next Chapter in Photographic Lighting

16 Oct

For professional photographers few tools are as important as lighting equipment. From tungsten to electronic flash, even HMI, little has fundamentally changed over the years and even decades.

But now there’s a new kid on the block – LED lighting. One of the pioneers of LED photographic lighting technology is Scott Geffert, and today he provides us with an exclusive essay on the history of lighting equipment, and what we can expect from LEDs in The Next Chapter in Photographic Lighting.

I have learnt so much more after looking through this on the weekend.  The tip about pushing blacks and fill light in the Basic Module was worth the price alone.  My images of a recent trip to the Australian Outback are popping and punching with delight!
 
Thanks Michael and Jeff – I really appreciate you taking the considerable time to share your in-depth knowledge and insights."
