Progress

Ok guys, I haven't had a chance to update this page in a long time, with all the other stuff that's happening. Here's the scoop, I finally got my domain name!!!! Woohooooo!!! Just type in www.hauntingimages.net and it will take you over to my myspace page. Later, once I come out of poverty or bankruptcy, whichever comes first, I'll change that to a bludomain site. But, it's a momentous step in my plan.

Then, I've been shooting racing for Greenville Pickens Speedway for about 3-4 weeks now, and it's turning out to be very exciting. Here's how it works, in case you were wondering. I've got the title of Official Track Photographer, which means that I shoot all the victory lane photos, of the winning drivers. Then, I post the non-victory lane pics to the fan page at www.greenvillepickens.com and you can get to those here---http://public.fotki.com/racepixs/ Right now, that page has about 2000+ views, and I just uploaded the pics this morning!

After that, I send the winners' pics to a couple email addresses for the next week's program, and for the collage you see on the GPS main site. I then put the winners' pics up on my sales site, for sale to the drivers. That's www.hauntingimages.photoreflect.com

I found out, through the help of some of the friends I've made, that most of the drivers don't have internet access, so I've begun to print the photos as 8x10's and carry them with me the following week. This helps get around the lack of internet, and helps increase the impulse sale.

Right now, I'm using my XT, with a 580ex on top, with stophen diffuser, and another 580ex in my left hand on slave mode with a lumiquest softbox on it. I keep the camera in Program mode, and shoot in ISO 400. It works pretty good for the time being, and produces some great results. I could definitely use a 50D though! I want one so bad I can taste it!

I finally got my hands on an issue of Practical Photography, the UK based photo mag, that doesn't beat around the bush. I heard about it on Strobist, and have been looking for it ever since. Anyway, it's got TONS of articles, with actual stuff you might want to know.....not comparisons of million dollar printers, and the newest terapixel cameras, lol. I really like it.

Well, there's a quick run-down of what's going on lately. Hope it gives you a brief look into my operations. TTYL
