Gatebil at Rudskogen
Just a couple of pics from this weekends coverage of the infamous Gatebil event held at Rudskogen in Norway. I was there shooting for Performance Ford, and what a weekend it was!
Between breaking my 70-200 L 2.8 IS lens, buying a 25$umbrella, catching a cold and getting caught and fined 500$ by the police for speeding on my way home I managed to take some 1200 pictures. Stay tuned for more pictures.
More Trackday Pictures
I’ve finally found time to process the pictures from the trackday in the previous post, Felt I had to post them as soon as possible, so the colors are a bit inconsistent, but I guess they’ll do.
Please link back to the www.naess.net if you post the pictures on forums or other websites
Trackday.no at Rudskogen Motorpark
Yet another tell true sign of spring is the raceways opening for the public and trackdays being held again. Today the good folks behind www.trackday.no held their first event of the season at Rudskogen Motorpark. I was there and managed to bag several hundred decent shots.
If you were there, theres more than fair chance that I’ve got some shots of your car, so don’t hesitate to contact me. Send me an email with either the number the organizers assigned you, your cars registration or just car make, model and color and I’ll see what I’ve got.
The snow doesn’t give a soft white damn who it touches
I’m sure American poet E.E. Cummings didn’t really think about automotive photographers when he stated the above, but it sure is fitting. Today the first snow fell and with that put an definite end to this years shooting of cars. I’ve got some indoor shoots planned and also scheduled, but fresh automotive pictures will be scarce until the spring sets in again.
So what to do? Well I started digging through the archives and did some editing. I’ve really gotten a thing for high key-ish and low contrast pictures lately and had to give it a try. The picture was shot at VW Audi Club Norwegen’s annual fall meet at Rudskogen Racetrack in August using a following vehicle for those interested. This was one of my first times using the Canon 24-70 2.8 L, a lens that since then has gotten a decent amount of use ;)

Event Poster
I had some spare time yesterday and decided to work on a event poster for VW Audi Club Norwegen’s annual fall event. I’m not really into design like this and this is my first poster so to speak. The first thing that amazed me was how time consuming it is – I spent the better part of an hour preparing the pictures and then double that time arranging them, making the leaves, (the event takes place in the fall, so see what i did there :p ) and finally choosing the font.
Now, this is mostly a draft as I still have to get the admission price and opening hours in there but those aren’t decided on yet so this’ll do for a while.
Thanks to Thomas for advice on the font Color :)
Oh and yeah. If you are into Volkswagens or Audi, clear that august weekend for anything else and come have a blast at Rudskogen Motorpark.
