I don’t get much time to shoot anymore but I’ve decided to focus my free time this summer on improving my lighting skills. To that effect, I’ve been playing around with some new lights and a big octabox. Here are some images of my friend Amanda from last weekend.

I visited Belgium a few weeks ago for work. I didn’t have much time to shoot, but I bought a Canon 7D for the trip so I wouldn’t have to lug around a 1D. Below is a collection of a few shots. The whole gallery can be viewed here.

Got back from California a few months ago, but I’m just getting around to posting the photos. We visited San Fransisco, Redwoods, and Yosemite. Overall, it was a great trip and I got to spend time with some old friends I hadn’t seen in a while. You can see my whole album of photos here.

This weekend was the inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix in Baltimore City. When I first heard there was going to be a race through the city, I couldn’t be more thrilled as I’m a huge car enthusiast. I’d planned to attend for the past year and I was fortunate enough to get credentials to photograph it. My credentials gave me great access trackside and I was able to get extremely close to the cars flying by (sometimes literally) at over 160mph.
The racing occurred throughout Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday, my plane from Vegas (for work) landed around 3:30am and I had to be downtown at 6:30 for a photographers meeting…that was a rough day. I spent it mostly walking around to gain familiarity with the track.
Saturday was the American Le Mans race, which I photographed mostly from the east side of the track.
Sunday was the IndyCar race. I planned to spend most of the time on the west half of the track, but also wanted to see if I could get to a high vantage point. I looked for the tallest building I could find over the track and knocked on the front door. The concierge let me in and said she would call her boss to see if I could shoot from the roof. She hung up the phone and said “he’ll call back in 10 minutes” – not the most promising response. A few minutes later a man came out of a back door, shook my hand, and said “come on up.” We took the service elevator to the top of the building and exited onto a terrace. The view was awesome and overlooked the whole track. I was able to shoot wides of Baltimore and really tight stuff of the track. The guys on the roof could not have been more helpful and accommodating. I ended up spending over half the IRL race shooting from the roof because there were so many cool possibilities.
Below is a mix of American Le Mans Series and IndyCar Series race photos. A big thanks to Nikon Professional Services for lending me a 600mm lens and a D3S – lighter and longer than my Canon 400! Also thanks to the guys for letting me up on their building – some of my better images couldn’t have been done without their help. (more…)

Shot some panoramas in Paris (see gallery). I got a 60″ canvas print for my wall of the Louvre from Artistic Photo Canvas. It looks great (see below). Please let me know if you are interested in prints. E-mail me at maxwell@maxwellkruger.com.
