Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 8:34AM Last night I spent a good 4 hours shooting cars on the North Shore. This beauty is a 240sx with a 2JZ engine swap built and tuned by owner Shawn Muskovich at Racing Greed. There are plenty more to come, so be sure to check back by clicking on the 'Photos' tab at the top and going to 'Automobiles & Transportation'.
Monday, September 10, 2012 at 9:42AM Ever since my best friend Brad took me downhill biking at Whistler I was hooked. What an awesome sport - pure adrenaline rush like nothing else! It just made sense to me that it was the next sport I make an effort to shoot. So I did just that. Being all the way in Whistler though, I was hesitant to go all the way there just to shoot photos of random people not knowing whether or not anyone would say anything about me just walking up the mountain with no lift pass or liability waiver. Now that I'm working in Squamish, I'm already two-thirds of the way there so I brought my camera gear up last friday and went on a little adventure after work.
I was a little skeptical at first, worried someone was going to start asking questions and turn me around. To my surprise though, no one seemed to care at all. Trucks drove by, and employees on ATV's barely acknowledged me. I was careful not to get run over as I wandered around aimlessly trying to find the perfect location without having to go too far. Eventually, I made it to the end of A-Line and setup. Tons of riders would pull over, stop, and ask to see their photos. One guy who actually works for Coast Mountain Photography stopped to chat for a good 20 minutes. If you're reading this, I apologize for forgetting your name. Hit me up on facebook! Look up Ryan Mackay | Photography. I'd love to see some of your work :)
Enough babbling. Here's my favourite image of the day. Feel free to provide some feedback on this image. I posted it on the Canon forums and got tons of positive feedback although some were distracted by the strobe being in the frame. Lemme know what cha think. Cheers!
Wednesday, September 5, 2012 at 10:45AM If you've visited my gallariy before, you've likely seen some of my previous P.N.E. photos from last year. Here are some more from this year's visit. Enjoy! :)
Sunday, August 19, 2012 at 2:16PM This was my frist time shooting the fireworks from a vantage point higher than the beach or bridge. Thanks to my buddy Greg, I was able to shoot from the 23rd floor of his west end apartment. I arrive with my camera and tripod but forgot the tripod plate at home, doh! I balanced my camera on his railing and used the shutter release cable. While I'm somewhat happy with this photo, I'll be back next year twice as prepared. Enjoy.
Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 1:28AM I hate to say it, but my photos did Italy justice. :P For the most part, the show was... meh... but I kept on shooting and luckily captured these images. Stay tuned - more to come!
