"Double-Naught" Bullet

Here's another fine example of German auto engi- neering. This photo was also taken at the Carolina Motorsports Park HSR event during Labor Day Weekend, 2004. Featured is an early 1970s Porsche 911 wide body. BTW, the guy at the wheel is a 16 year old whose coming up in racing circles. Keep an eye on 00!

About Me

Hi there! My name is CharlieJ. I have been an amateur photographer since the age of eight. It's been a lifelong hobby that I have enjoyed like no other. Although I'm not a great photographer, the art of the photo is my passion.

The majority of my work has been nature and macro photography. Two years ago, I started dabbling in portrait, sports and model photography.

My photos have been published in TopGun Magazine (regional sports mag), an UK wildlife education pamphlet, a Huntington, West Virginia restaurant menu and (in the near future) Schmap Guides.

I hope you enjoy my photography. Feel free to comment and offer constructive criticism, too. God bless!

More... About My Style & Status

As of January, 2011, I am turning professional... or at least semi-professional.
I am a member of Model Mayhem (MM#1833123) and Net-Model.com -- conducting TFCD/TFP photo shoots with local & regional models in order to build my portfolio (and theirs).

Currently, I am learning the "art of light" -- and focusing on senior portraits, model shoots, event/sports photography, lifestyle photos.

You won't see oversaturated, heavily tone mapped photos in my collection of work. I just don't believe in producing images like that. I'm a photographer, not a PhotoShop expert. There is a difference. Pretty much anyone who can master PhotoShop can create beautiful files they might call an image or photograph. But, it takes a photographer's eye to see the image, the light, the composition BEFORE the shutter is clicked. I'd rather create my images & photographs with the camera... and not the computer.

Therefore, I do not "photoshop" my images heavily. Normal edits are to change size, along with overall contrast, sharpness -- and sometimes color saturation. Most of those edits have been accomplished through Picnik, Picasa 3 or PaintShop Pro. As my level of shooting has developed, so is my workflow. I am learning LightRoom3 & will soon start my education on PhotoShop CS4.
