You may know Chance Hales from his work with the Everyday Driver TV Show, Podcast, and YouTube channel, or from his excellent Instagram follow @phattyhales for a ton of great photos of spectacular cars in amazing locales.\\xa0 With our team finally starting to get things together, we wanted to improve our non-driving related knowledge and skills as well and realized that as much as we like taking pictures and videos at the track and on the road, we have not kept up with recent advances that may improve our images.\\xa0 It is also an excellent gift idea for those who may want to improve their equipment with a seasonal gift or three and is an excellent way to get a non-driving CFO to enjoy the track a bit more and feel included in your driving passion.\\xa0

I think we broke Ben on this Dominating with Dawson episode where we cover the concept of \\u201ctwo feet in\\u201d and make sure everyone is clear with what it means and how this technique can dramatically minimize the deleterious impact of an error that may momentarily exceed your current skill level on track.\\xa0

We hope you enjoy this episode!

1)\\xa0 We start of with a quick introduction including an overview of Chance\\u2019s 1967 Mustang resto-mod and 2000 Porsche 911, his recent promotion to NASA HPDE 4, and how he grew into his current photography and videography profession, as well as Everyday Driver.

2)\\xa0 Bill mentions the story of how we first met each other online and how many of you can blame the Everyday Driver team for us starting racing and this podcast.\\xa0 They do apologize profusely.

3)\\xa0 Vicki learns what a \\u201ccars and coffee\\u201d is for the first time.\\xa0 Bill, I thought you raised her better than that.

8)\\xa0 Chance is also an excellent videographer for both the Everyday Driver TV show on the Velocity channel, their feature length movies/DVDs, as well as their YouTube channel and goes into the various choices and alternatives, including GoPro\\u2019s and several options that provide even higher quality.

9)\\xa0 We did go into the details of shutter speeds and aperture settings, but in a way that most non-photographers will finally be able to understand.\\xa0 The good news is that most of the cameras have an automatic setting or a simple semi-automatic setting that will work for most shots of interest at a track.

10)\\xa0 Chance also gives a few resources to find the both equipment and several that have a resource that can advise you for the best options to fit what you are trying to capture.

11)\\xa0 Key settings and what their approximate ranges should be include aperture, exposure, and the number of frames per second.

15)\\xa0 Chance also helps us with several great resources for editing photos and videos.

16)\\xa0 Vicki misunderstands Chance saying \\u201craw\\u201d and thinks it\\u2019s a type of graphic file.\\xa0 Bill makes a bad He Man joke.

17)\\xa0 Bill has a bad flashback to when everyone used something known as \\u201cfilm\\u201d.\\xa0 Things ae so much easier now.

18)\\xa0 Chance even offers a set of standard \\u201cshots\\u201d that you should pursue at each event.\\xa0 We also go into the best way to compose a shot to at least appear to be a better photographer than you really may be.\\xa0

19)\\xa0 Tips and tricks to shooting in the weather to protect yourself, the camera equipment, as well as some tips to getting better shots that take advantage of the conditions.

20)\\xa0 Bill asks about a Leica camera, but meant to say Lytro.\\xa0 Worth a look?\\xa0 TBD.\\xa0 We will have to ask Chance next time.

21)\\xa0 Depending on your goals and budget, we are sure to have given you a few options that will improve your team\\u2019s photos.
