Lime Rock is offering both one- and two-day workshops during the Grand-Am Championship Weekend Presented by BMW, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 28-29. The class sizes are limited and this is your last chance to enroll.

Lime Rock’s two previous photo workshops have gotten rave reviews, so we scheduled the third for one of the best race weekends of the year, the Grand-Am championship finale.

It’s called Motorsports Photography Workshop III – “On Assignment at Lime Rock”

OVERVIEW
Being “on assignment” is not about learning shutter speeds and aperture settings. This workshop is about learning what it’s like to be a hired photographer working for a client. Every student will get a client and that client’s “shot list.” In the real world, your client might be a race team, a tire or car manufacturer, a sponsor or even the track. Remember, your client is asking for specific shots – and you’re expected to get them! The Grand-Am championship will be on the line and you will cover it accordingly.

The objective is to experience the extent of the work and the creativity needed to deliver. It’s the kind of invigorating pressure that all professional shooters experience. This will be a tremendously exciting workshop. Students will learn about time management, juggling the demands of multiple clients, work flow both trackside and in the media center, and how to handle the pressure and politics endemic in the racing industry.

NOTE: The workshop is designed for intermediate to experienced photographers. Each student must own a digital SLR camera with interchangeable lenses and possess a level of understanding of how cameras function beyond beginner and novice.

NIKON PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
Nikon Professional Services (NPS) will offer on-site support and a wide variety of cameras and lenses for photographers to test throughout the day. (Owning a Nikon camera is not a requirement to attend the workshop.) The Nikon gear is not meant to replace your personal equipment, but simply be an added benefit to workshop participants.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
