I've lurked this community and the Jalopnik main pages for years now and have been a little scared to dive in for fear of not having anything useful to contribute. I've started dipping a toe in by commenting when I feel like I have something to add and that's gone well so I decided to try this out for reals.
I've also started attending races more frequently and practicing with photography and I've gotten to where I'm pretty happy with some of the results. I haven't been doing anything with the pictures I'm taking so I thought sharing them here seemed reasonable. I went to both days Belle Isle, the two Indy races at Indianapolis (road course and 500) and the Daytona 24 last year. I've posted some of the photos I liked from those events below.
I'll be headed to Sebring this weekend for my first race of the season. Bearing in mind that I'll only be there for the main race day Saturday I thought I'd do this post to see if there was anything you guys would like me to try to get shots of. If there are any cars or locations or situations you'd like to see, let me know and I'll do my best to get it and I'll do a post with photos from the race when I get back. If you see any of my photos posted you'd like to use for something if you wouldn't mind shooting me a quick message I'd appreciate it, and if there is a car or driver or something at one of the events that I haven't posted pictures for you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see what I have.
My photography is still far from great, but some of it is usable I think. I'm excited to contribute a bit around here and I hope it does someone some good. As this is my first post, please feel free to give me any pointers and tell me if I'm doing something stupid. Thanks to DasWauto for helping me get set up!
PIC DUMP!

Get some great shots of the TRG-AMR Astons. Love seeing them in action as I only get to see them stationary... :/

I didn't get great shots at Daytona. Here are some of the best I have. I'll try to snap something better at Sebring.

We had rotten luck at Daytona. Hopefully we have a better go at it at Sebring.

"We"? You on the team? You had bad luck as Daytona last year for sure...hence why the car is on the apron in that shot. Here is the aftermath:

I'm not on the team exactly, but very closely related to the team.

This C7R and your top Ferrari pic have been added to my desktop folder.
Really nice pics!

Very cool! There is a picture a friend took of me last year where I was down low to get a good shot of the 007 on the grid and there was a group of grid girls standing to my right out of shot with a crowd of dudes around them. It was captioned "Focusing on what's important" and I caught a lot of crap for it. When a car looks this good though....
