Race day pictures

Post by dvelpel »

Hey everyone, curious if there are any photographers posting pictures of past race days? All ways seem them around but never see anything posted anywhere. I heard the name Randy but not to sure where he posts them. Any info would be awesome

Hi Dan,

Don’t know if you had any replies but Search Randy Kimura in Facebook messenger and ask him for photos. You need to provide your gmail email, kart numbers and classes. He’ll add you to the group album.

I'm the photographer referenced and usually stand near the first corner on the south-east portion of the track. As indicated by Paul I can be reached via Facebook Messenger. I can also be reached via email at [email protected].

Currently I am using Google Photos to host the photos, hence the requirement for a Google based email address. In addition to gmail accounts any email powered by Google can also be used. For example Telus recently switched over to Google and these accounts can be used.

I load the photos based on requests. Indicating the drivers and their race classes helps me identify the photos of interest. I try to insure I get photos of every driver. This is manageable for club races but when the number of competitors increases (e.g. ABSO) it becomes harder to keep track and I may inadvertently get more photos of some drivers than others.

The photos are sized for viewing on a device to 1) save storage space and 2) preserve one's data plan. The photos look okay on a device however printing is probably not very good. Let me know if you want to print something and I can provide a more suitable file.
