    I don't think I follow you. Can you post one of your photos as an example?

    LOL. Guess I could have worded that better.

    Sure. What kind of photo would you like? I primarily shoot motorsports.

    Anything off road, honestly. Otherwise, whatever you feel best represents your "style".

    Not a lot of off-road racing in rural OK. Best I can do around here is some low-rent flat track motorcycles and carts in a really big shanty. I think they call it a barn. But I'm really nervous about it falling on my head while I'm in there lol

    This is not what this looked like. Red dust and clay in the air, background was lighter...Hell, it's not even a technically great image...But I've made more off of this image than almost any other I've ever taken. Everybody that's bought it knows that this isn't what the scene looked like.

    2nd image is just what you do when you put a lot of work in with lighting and post processing. It's not what the eye sees.

    So yeah. I don't overbake images or crush colors away or flat out lie in the name of art. But neither of these represent what the scene was to an observer when I clicked the shutter button.

    I just like when people tag every offroad company they've bought parts from in their instagram posts, it cracks me up.

    I truly do not give a fuck what anyone thinks of my pitchers or my prose. Truly. Below are two that are perfect examples of my expertise...

    Well, bought my wife a Nikon 7000(?) series about a year ago. I think the shutter has maybe 200 cycles on it. 195 from me. So I got no game in this thread.
