Mid Ohio Sports Car Course and IMSA couldn’t have scripted a better homecoming if they’d tried. In June, 2013, the Grand-Am Rolex series raced at Mid-Ohio for the last time; the following year, the Rolex series merged with ALMS and Mid-Ohio was lost in the shuffled schedule. Last weekend, some of the best sports car…

Yesterday, two completely unrelated things happened. First, I saw Petapixel’s news about 500px having been sold to a Chinese company. As a photographer, this piqued my interest, to say the least, and I shared the news with comments to the effect that I’d love to see a well-informed impact analysis on this change in ownership….

I just read a thought-provoking article on Fstoppers written in defense of Canon — specifically, their perceived lack of innovation lately. In case you’re not a camera news junkie, there have been quite a lot of really impressive cameras announced by Nikon, Sony, and others recently, and with each new competing camera apparently moving the…

For 2017, Weathertech assumed sponsorship of the July vintage race at Road America, so this event became known as the 2017 Weathertech International Challenge with Brian Redman. For me, it’s still “The Hawk”. Regardless of the name, pulling into the gates at Road America is always coming home for me. I had a great long weekend…

Crop factor (along with “cropped sensor”) is a term sure to trip up digital photography newbies. It’s certainly not one of the first things you need to learn about, but you should probably have a handle on it before you start amassing too much equipment, because it has to do with the physical size of…

As a credentialed photographer, I’m lucky enough to be able to shoot races from locations inaccessible to average fans, but I certainly remember the challenge of building my portfolio from the “cheap seats”. While it hardly seems fair to have to start from such a disadvantage, this was a period of pretty intense learning for…

If you just bought (or received) a new DSLR camera, chances are, it came with a lens — something like an 18-55 or a 24-105, perhaps. When these lenses are bundled with a camera body, they’re known as “kit” lenses, and they’re among the most poorly-understood and maligned bits of equipment in photography. Let’s talk…

It’s almost turkey day here in the US, and that can mean only one thing for photographers: Black Friday sales. Depending on your level of experience, you may be eyeing those ads for yourself, or you may have friends and loved ones looking to you for guidance about some of these deals. While there’s no…

I started this site around six years ago, and I’ve evolved a bit as a photographer since then. Motorsports have always been a passion of mine, but in its early days, LambertPix reflected a broader approach to photography as I learned the craft and shared my experiences with readers. Since those early days, I’ve found…

One of the things I’ve been making a real effort to improve is my use of lighting, which implies, of course, my positioning at the track with respect to the light. Prior to being credentialed to shoot for Victory Lane, my track positioning choices were pretty limited, of course. Most tracks have at least one…
