The Photography of Michael McConaughy

2009 Motorcycle Event Photos Galleries

Waterman 1/24/09 VMX : I took over 500 photos and threw away the worst. About 350 to post, check back to make sure all photos are posted, it may take a couple of days. As usual, the Waterman conditions are grim for photography. Very slow shutter speeds are a necessity without flash. Some are nice, most I just posted anyway. You can scroll your mouse over the main photo to enlarge it. Then you can view all photos in a larger format using the < > icons at the top of the page. Please feel free to browse this gallery. If you want to purchase a photo, click on the "buy photo" above the main picture. This will also bring up the pricing. Merchandise is now also available, click the merchandise tab in the buy section. You are not obligated to buy, until you check out. Make sure you are satisfied with the focus and exposure of the photo. Once in the shopping cart, choose the size print you want. Also choose the photo finish, I prefer Lustre. These prints are processed by a professional lab out of Georgia and reproduced on commercial grade papers. Prints are much better quality than a home printer or Walmart. The watermark will not appear on printed photos. If you don't want to order online, I can order for you and have the pictures shipped directly to you. Email me at bikerdr@yousq.net The best feature of this process is you can custom crop a photo however you like. Click the adjust button next to crop. You can now drag the crop box to position it how you like. If you want to zoom in on your bike and make it larger in the photo, click and drag the small lower right hand box to zoom in and then reposition your crop. When your satisfied with your cropping, be sure to save the changes. If you want a photo with zero cropping, choose a 4x6, 8x12 or 12x18, but you still crop these sizes if you choose. Sounds complicated, but it's easy once you play with it a bit. I will also see the photos you order before processing and can readjust cropping, if I feel it will improve the photo. Photos take about 10-14 business days to receive, unless shipped priority and if you have any questions or requests please email me at bikerdr@yousq.net

Waterman 1/24/09 VMX

Anamosa Hill Climb 6/07/09 : I took about 400 photos today. Be sure to check back and make sure I've got all them posted. Lucky the rain held off and turned out to be a great day. A couple of close calls today. You guys are not supposed to aim for the photographer. :) Be sure to check out the photos from past hillclimbs, as I still have them posted. Thanks Mike.
