Looking to see if anyone is interested in taking some pictures of me and a few friends at a Motorcycle track day with NESBA at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) on the 8/23. Just looking for a camera man, nothing fancy. I have all the equipment (1dmkIIn + 400 2.8 + carbon fiber monopod) and can teach you how to properly use them to get portfolio quality images such the one below. I know all the best places and times of day to shoot at the course (shot ferrari, ama, motogp, etc.) and have shot all over the US covering events.

I would be shooting it for fun with my friends, but they pitched in and gave me a free track day to ride around on my sports bike with them before I head out to the Marines. You don't have to worry about sorting through thousands of pictures, picking out the selects or post processing. I do that. I can show you my work flow as well.
Once you're out there and in about 10 mins, I can teach you the tricks of the trade. You can keep what ever images you want for your portfolio, but you cannot sell any of it as there are track day photographers who do this as a living and have a contract. You will get banned from VIR.
Normally, I'd buy the images from the track photographers, but they all suck! They do not obtain the image quality or technical training that I have been so a custom to. See example below:

With my training and equipment, it's not hard to expect shots like those one after another. I generally can capture 3000 pics per group (there are 3) with about 75% being keeps (used to be really good and had 90% keeps) and roughly about a handful of really good portfolio quality pics.
