@BlackWatchAmbush oh I’ve seen it many times. And to be honest I just had to build a reputation at my local tracks and events. I still haven’t gotten where I want to be yet, as I’d like to be full time for NASCAR or IndyCar. But it all takes time, patience, and practice

@ForeverYoungAaron 3 жыл бұрын

@BlackWatchAmbush initially yes I had to pay. But after building a relationship with drivers and staff you will eventually have friends there and typically people will want to see you out there shooting for them. In the drift community specifically I’ve noticed a lot of appreciation for media in general, and I’m sure that applies to other types of independent or small team racing. Many tracks and events have media applications for each event as well. If you have something to show or know people, they’ll usually start accepting you. And I don’t have much Fuji experience but I shoot Olympus Micro Four Thirds and it’s a perfect system for me. A decent telephoto lens is all you really need. I started out with an ancient Canon 5D with an 80 dollar zoom lens and just being out there let me improve a lot. (That and KZfaq guides on panning and capturing motion)
