DC Crew hits the Nascar track in Richmond

May 2, 2014 photog blogs

It was only a matter of time until I got my eyes back on some Nascar action.  Shooting for Fox Sports, I traversed south on I-95 to Richmond International Raceway, thankfully not during rush hour.   I took part in shooting two segments for the pre-race show, both featuring hometown hero Denny Hamlin.   I used the Sony PMW F3 fitted with Canon L series glass for these tasks.   Beautiful pictures was the name of the game as I ventured through Chesterfield, Va. searching for hometown “Americana”.  The b-roll consisted of back roads, old buildings and waterways.  Btw snakes are now out of hibernation, FYI.  Using my MYT slider made capturing the beauty of each in environment a breeze.  The second segment was shot with an F55 and F3 in S-Log Gamma and using whatever adjustments we could to match the cameras.   They ended up matching nicely after tweaking a few settings.  It was a quick Toyota promo with a shtick about Hamlin having a key to the city of Richmond but not one to start a Camry.  Good fun all around.  video production camera crew  video production camera crew It was nice to see my friends at Fox Sports again and always great to be back at the track!
