Here is a batch of racing action photos from the recent Formula 1 race. Wow, it was a great weekend. I am very thankful for the media access to cover great events like this. I can’t wait until the next race.
Racing Action - Miami Grand Prix
Missing F1
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ready for the 2022 Formula 1 season to start…even though the 2021 season just finished a couple weeks ago. Here are a few photos I took last October at the FIA Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix in Austin Texas.
Sebastian Vettel - Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One Team
Valtteri Bottas - Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team
Sergio Perez - Red Bull Racing Honda
G550
Here is another photo from our August automotive photo shoot. @jasonpohuski, Blair and I spent some time photographing a Ford 150 and this Mercedes G550 in downtown Pittsburgh.
G Wagon
Last weekend, @teamshutterrush (minus one of our members, who will remain unnamed…..Jake!!!!) was in Pittsburgh filming the third episode for our Shutter Rush series on Amazon Prime. If you haven’t watched the first two episodes, please do and while you’re at it, please rate it a “5”.
Anyway, we conducted an urban vehicle shoot with this G Wagon and a bright red Ford 150. I thought the red Ford was ugly, but I know some people will love it and I have to admit, it really popped in the photos. In addition, we completed some cityscape photography, urban exploration and a special photo shoot that is a top-secret surprise we’ll save for the film. Good stuff!!!! It was great to get out with the team and capture some photos since our last Shutter Rush location was photographed/filmed in early March right before the COVID lock downs.
This was my first professional vehicle photo shoot, which was good fun. I’m not super happy with my edits on the photo below, but it was nice learning how to setup the vehicle, lighting and other vehicle photo tips from @jasonpohuski and I look forward to trying this again….

Fisher Body Plant
Today’s post is from the Fisher Body Plant in Detroit Michigan. I took this photo in early 2018 when I was exploring the city with Theaterwiz, Robert, Blair, Jacques, and Luis. I was happy and sad to see the improvements within the city. They’re taking down and/or repairing abandoned buildings very quickly, which is great for the city….sad for urbex photographers like me.
I liked how the blue glass in the windows made this area look…..

Porsche 911 Carrera
Yesterday, I took MJ’s car into the dealership to get a
quote for some repair work. I knew
from prior a visit, that right down the street is a Porsche dealership. I packed my camera gear knowing I would
have a long wait at the dealership.
What I didn’t know was whether or not the Porsche dealership would let
me in the door, let alone take pictures of their cars.
Well as it turned out, they didn’t seem to care I was even there. Matter of fact, none of the sale men even got out of their seats when I walked in and stood in the showroom. So either they are lazy (which I doubt) or they knew from a glance that I wasn’t a potential client.
Regardless, I snapped a ton of pictures moving in and around the showroom floor (I never touched a single car). Today’s picture is a close up of the left front headlight on a Porsche 911 Carrera.
