New Biker Magazine Features Shooters Images Photography

A new biker magazine is debuting this spring called Gasoline Magazine.  Check out their website and watch for the magazine.  It will be featuring lots of our photography (see examples) as well as stories related to motorcycling and the biker culture.

2009 World of Wheels Video

Check out some bike shots from the 2009 World of Wheels bike show in Chicago.  For the camera geeks, most of this was done with the new Canon 5d mk ii and a 200 f2 lens.

New Promo Video

We just finished editing a new promo video for 2009.  With the addition of Final Cut Studio 2 (a suite of production software), we're able to improve our DVD slideshows and now add video to the mix.  In addition, a new DSLR that also shoots video has been added to our bag and allows us to shoot not just video but HD video.   We certainly will be incorporating that into our business.  So, look for video posted on our website in the upcoming months.  In the meantime, check out our new promo DVD.  If anyone would like a complimentary copy, please contact us and we will send one free of charge.

World of Wheels

Jan 23-26 is the World of Wheels at McCormick Place in Chicago.  If you have cabin fever, head to the show and check out the cars and bikes.  We'll be there.

New Book Preview

Here's the cover for the new book we're working on.  It should be finished in a week or so and will then go in for printing.  Not sure of the price yet for the large 11 x 13 hardcover version.  We will also be offering a smaller, softcover edition that will be a little cheaper.

The book contains approximately 200 of some of our best and most popular gallery prints of photos from the Sturgis rally.  This edition, unlike the last one, contains narrative text along with the pictures.  Plus, there's an intro by fellow biker photographer Greg Zook.  The entire book is arranged in sections.  If you are on our email list, you will get a notice when the book is ready for sale.

If you've been to the rally, we think you'll agree that the book is an excellent representation of the rally.  If you haven't been, you'll want to get this book to what you've been missing.

If you are interested in joining our email list, shoot us an email and we'll add you to the list.  don@shootersimages.com to send us an email.

Coming Soon . . . ! (A New) Sturgis Photography Book

We recently published a photography book on the Sturgis Rally - "Sturgis - Nothing Like It."  The book received the "Book of the Week" pick from the publishing staff.  

Now, we are in the process of putting together a second book with more great photos from the rally plus we will be adding text and descriptions to the photos.  Keep an eye out on the blog and we will announce it when it's published.

If you haven't seen our first Sturgis book, click here for a preview.  You can purchase the book there or on our website.

End of Year Print Sale!

Hopefully, many of you received an email from us about our 20% off sale on any event print or Fine Art Gallery print from our website. The email contained a coupon code (SIM1402) which can be used during checkout on our website. Find a picture you want, choose the options, then you'll be asked for a coupon code during the rest of the checout process. The coupon is good through 12/25/08 and can be used as many times as you like.

We've wrapped up our event shooting for the year and decided not to attend the Lone Star Rally. We'll be turning our attention to some product shots for a great company with a great product. If you wear chaps or would like to wear chaps but want something a little lighter, check out HogGaiters. They've got lots of styles, look great, and provide some protection for your lower leg. They will also be set up again on Main Street in Sturgis next year.

Speaking of websites, check out the bike photo site of our friend and competitor (so he thinks) at Remember the Ride. Greg Zook, otherwise known as "Pussy Boy," made his photographic debut at Sturgis last year where we met up with him and did some shooting together. Greg (a.k.a. Pussy Boy) is a great guy as well as being a fine photographer (in his own mind) and was very supportive after Deb's accident. Keep your eyes open next year and you'll probably see him wandering aimlessly through the streets of Sturgis waving his new, bright white Canon 200mm f2.0 lens in your face. Just call him Pussy Boy and he'll leave you alone.
