Well, if I can't be at the first NASCAR event of the year to shoot it, I guess I will have to shoot it from my other favorite viewing position, stretched out on the couch in front of my big screen TV. I hope to shoot eight or ten NASCAR races this year, so I'll just hafta watch the rest of them from this position, besides, I'll get to sleep in my own bed every night after the race (see, there are some advantages to staying home).
See, you can shoot from many different vantage points while watching the race from the comfort of your couch. You can be riding in the car with Mikey, like in the first image, or from the pit road tower, like image number two, or even a Tony Stewart pit stop like this image.
You can even shoot from the flag stand.
Or, even in the car of the eventual winner, like I was here with Junior. How sweet is that, Junior winning his first race out with the Hendrick's team.
Man, I was like Santa Claus, I was everywhere. And I didn't even break a sweat. So you too, can shoot every NASCAR event. All it takes is some good camera equipment, a big screen TV, and a comfortable couch. It don't get any better than this, unless you are shooting it live and in person, with the smell of burnt rubber and racing fuel burning your nose, the sun burning your face and arms, or the wind so cold it nearly cuts you in half, minimum wage security guards who don't know the rules and only know that their supervisor told them not to let any fans in that area (hello, I have credentials and a photo vest / flag letting you know I'm a member of the media and not a fan).
Maybe one day, I'll get the hang of it. And security will too.
