MONACO GP as an F1 Photographer // JAMEYPRICEPHOTO

[@stubones]

Amazing Jamey. Really appreciate the long video. Very entertaining 👍

[@jameypricephoto]

Thank you so much!

[@AlbertoFL]

I was there , 18:05 and 25:18 (next room). My second GP as an F1 photographer and my first time in Monaco. I suffered a lot physically, especially on the first day (Thursday) recognizing all the circuits, sites, accesses, elevators, etc. but seeing the cars pass so close was something unique. I hope to repeat in 2025.

[@Pndazzz.]

With everything I see from you, It inspires me more and more to get into this profession. I have always wanted to do something in motorsport, but with all the options I never new what to pursue. Thank you Jamey.

[@jameypricephoto]

Thanks!!

[@mltv5736]

That would be amazing if you did a video about gear. Not about lenses and cameras cause there are a plenty of reviews on them now but about belt system, pouches, bags etc. It is a very important part in any sports photography but barely anyone did a decent review on such an important piece of equipment. Had a chance to ask E. Safronov himslef on Moscow Raceway a year and a half ago about such a video about equipment, but looks like he is kinda busy with other projects :D

[@jameypricephoto]

@@mltv5736 I’m planning to do a gear video.

[@mltv5736]

@@jameypricephoto yeah, i heard you referencing it ib video, so i remembered that i really wanted to see some in-depth review of gear-carrying equipment (idk how to properly call it in english) but saw nothing decent, so decided to mention it here. Thank you for that! I'm really looking forward to it

[@leod1671]

With that topic, also be interested in your workflow, file naming, file organzation/saving, trademarking, etc... Probably not a viral video but interesting for sure.

[@trinitym.photography8665]

Capturing the moment of coming out of the tunnel is one of my bucket list shots. Hopefully, I can do this one day if I ever get the chance to either be sent through my media company or get hired on with a team.

Really enjoyed this insight im doing more motorsport this year so great to see the top level . Thank you.

Monaco is a gorgeous place. Fontvieille is one of the districts of Monaco part of Prince Rainier III’s legacy and yes it is beautiful there. This district is known as the business district of Monaco with many offices located there, located in the western part of the principality.Past the le rocher (the rock) also known as Monaco-ville ❤

Thanks Jamie at least when you vlog while walking to your spot it makes the time goes fast

[@jameypricephoto]

@@zeus.edwards2662 truth. As long as it’s interesting to watch listen to!

[@jameypricephoto]

@@Third13 thank you very much

[@raelarise1]

Hi Jamey great video. Nice equipment choice, although the 70-200 is amazing, I also use the Tamron 35-150 f2.-2.8. It’s sharp and a good option too.

[@beesilva1201]

[@Ramundo4609]

What he said about mirroless vs dslr vs film is very true. A camera is just a tool. Learning to use that tool "expertly" is what separates one photgrapher from another. That would be like saying if I went and purchased a Trek bicycle for thousands of dollars I was guaranteed to win the Tour De France. Knowledge and experience is paramount and key to success, not expensive toys. And do you really need a camera that can shoot a hundred frames a seconds. Unless, of course, you are shooting a fighter jet flying at mach speed close enough to where you can see the pilot smiling at you. (lol). And lastly, the 400mm. Nice reach, good spartial compression, and tack sharp.

[@lexusuk7901]

Did you have to wait until the end of the season to post this behind the scenes footage due to the F1 rules? If so, that's crazy. Awesome video!

[@jameypricephoto]

@@lexusuk7901 no. Been struggling with editors for these vlogs. It’s too much for me to do and have to outsource it all. We’ve got the system down now and we’ll start catching up.

[@touringcarmagazine]

The DSLR thing, yup, I can't see myself going mirrorless for a few more years, as you say 'latest and greatest' isn't everything. Some of the guys I work with in the UK who've been working trackside since the early 70s (Tony Todd, Jeff Bloxham) produced the same quality stuff on film as they do today with high end mirrorless. And yeah, the filming restrictions are a pain, for my vids on BTCC trackside I'm slotting in some high fps shots from my phone or gopro to try and get round it. Almost moving pictures.....

[@jameypricephoto]

@@touringcarmagazine the f1 documents we sign even prohibit putting pictures together into moving pictures 😂

[@touringcarmagazine]

@@jameypricephoto I had a feeling that F1 might be a little stricter in it's wording than most other championships. I did 10 years on the engineering side there before becoming a traitor and going media - you almost needed an NDA to use a bathroom, so I can imagine it's much of a muchness elsewhere in the category - personally I'm too old and knackered to be arsed with that, trackside F1 isn't an ambition personally, don't know how the indie media can cope with the travel - I don't have the patience! I assume that being able to vlog around Monaco between sessions is down to it being public areas, unlike other permanent circuits, must make it a little easier than being in a Bahrain car park outside the track! It's a discussion I've had with a couple of championships I cover, the smaller ones want us to vlog and give permission to film whatever, but the TV contracts, as you know, are a pain with bigger series' isn't it??!!

[@jameypricephoto]

@ yeah that’s basically it. The way I’m looking at it as that I’m not doing actual championship coverage. It’s just kind of “this is what the weekend is like”. Not an interview with Lewis Hamilton or trackside video coverage of the session. But yeah. Bit silly.

[@WEDonnelly]

Great video! Do you always shoot the 400 and 700-200 at 2.8?

[@jameypricephoto]

@@WEDonnelly generally some combination of that for trackside stuff.

[@alo_art]

Do you have to wait for the F1 end season to share the blog?

[@jameypricephoto]

@@alo_art no. Just super back logged on videos. We will be starting to catch up quite quickly. About one video a week hopefully

[@LoiteringReaper]

For F1 vlogs/streaming, they're restrictive probably to prevent competing teams from spying on other teams before, during, and after races?

[@jameypricephoto]

@@LoiteringReaper nope. It’s just broadcast rights. Has nothing to do with spy stuff. That’s all photography and photographers doing the spy stuff ;)

Cool video, too bad you could not do more while the cars were running or in the pit areas. Thanks!

[@jameypricephoto]

Yup. Welcome to F1...

[@Wklambert]

Lol, I was wondering, no 24-70? I imagine your carry capacity isn't the best. Swapping between 14-24 and 24-70 has to be tricky. Not like you have a place to readily set your gear down to swap lenses. Also, I know you don't use a polarizer, but does that lens have a built-in TC? With my work, my 100-400 is my workhorse. I'm thinking of upgrading to the 100-500 (Canon RF) I am still undecided though as I used a Sigma 150-600 at the 24 Daytona 500, and 600 is too long. Thankfully, lens rentals are a thing, lol Edit to add, 100% agree w camera types. I've shot film, dlsr, and mirrorless. I will admit, keeper rate has never been higher than w mirrorless, but... Absolutely doable w legacy formats. I'd even venture to say legacy formats are still fun. Different tech, different techniques, different results. They're all just tools.

[@wilhelmw3455]

That lens you are referring to is the 400mm f2.8 and it has a built in 1.4 TC.

[@SundayRacers]

You need a sunglasses strap. Never balance them on your hat, have them slip off your face, or put them down and lose them again

[@jameypricephoto]

@@SundayRacers the strap probably costs as much as the grocery store pair 😂
