    VSCO iOS app Filters test

    I applied VSCO filters on some of my best pictures, what happened next was above my expectations or any other click bate title will work here. In all seriousness, yes, I thought what results I can do with VSCO app and gave it a try. Quality of pictures goes down by a lot, but colours become more full and vivid. I would say if mobile traffic is the only traffic you’re getting, VSCO is a win-win solution for post production.

    Close-up // #driftcarsstanding

    When sun sets low and racing stops, you can usually find these tired racing beasts at the garage or in the pits. It’s a good time to make a few spontaneous snaps of them.

    How hard can it be to make a “Gatebil” in Baltics?

    Hello beautiful reader, it’s cold in the parts where I live and my camera is hidden for few months already and awaits the next racing season to start in April. Although I have ideas for visiting some winter-cold WRC events in between. Today I want to talk about one event that many people believe is the mecca for automotive pleasure. It is called Gatebil which means Street Car in Norwegian. It’s an event where 40 000 people from all over the World come to enjoy themselves, get inspired, be astonished, to feel free to express who they are and what…

    September Gatebil in the rain or the story of 10 spectators

    Earlier in autumn, I went once more time to Norway. My main priority was the NEZ Formula Offroad final in Skien, but there was also a Gatebil event at the same time. I arrived Friday evening and based on the weather forecast, decided to go to Rudskogen, also it seemed a better place for sleep than some petrol station. Rain already passed when I arrived, but Saturday looked to be a different story – heavy rain all day long. At the moment everybody were mainly eating and preparing for some 90’s euro-disco party. Why, yes why, you don’t hear any…

  • Estonian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / Outtakes

    When an event is close to your home, you’re able to devote more time to it. Especially when it’s one of the highlights of the year. This time I was writing the article for Speedhunters, I feel that I covered Estonian drift scene quite well without being boring or writing too much about it – it wasn’t a complete history of course, but probably I will try myself on something like that for the 10th Anniversary (I have all the material from Day 1). You can read Speedhunters story and check the main pictures HERE. Below you can see my…

  • Estonian Drift GP // You Have to Wait for It / 😛

    Some of you may wonder why I’m not putting the latest review from Drift Allstars Round 4 in Estonia. The thing is, it will be featured on Speedhunters a bit later, so I can’t share all the goodies with you just yet. It will be out in the end of August, so stay tuned. Still, I uploaded few tasters – enjoy!

  • Latvian Drift GP // Drift Allstars / 2015

    Drift Allstars in Riga, what to say.. Last time I was at Bikernieki I made 50 pictures and went away, thought that i’ve been too many times here, that all angles are same and done long time ago. At DA I spent two full days at the track, drivers brought inspiration with their car control and attitude. My memory is still overwhelmed with #gatebilexperience and seeing many familiar faces injected that extra bit of excitement. Seeing best polish drivers back to the series was a turn on for me as well. Also so many photographers turned up for the event.…

    Gatebil Rudskogen // July / 2015

    I always try to get new experience and choose those events where I haven’t been before, but I can’t say this about Gatebil – I’ve been to Gatebil Rudskogen festival three times and I’m planning to go next year as well. Event is so diverse that I’m not sure why I keep coming back: is it the atmosphere, or drifting, or socialisation with colleagues? I arrived in the evening on Friday and went straight away to the track, festival program already finished and that meant that Rudskogen circuit is filled with photoshoots. Me and fellow photographer Alex went to say…

  • BRITISH DRIFT GP // DRIFT ALLSTARS / 2015

    First round of Drift Allstars reminded me an EEDC (Eastern European Drift Championship) event in Riga in 2014. There very few drivers, but the quality  of them was on the highest level. Lack of entrants was due to Gatebil event in Sweden and British Championship happening on the same date. Biggest upset for me was the absence of Polish drivers: Pawel Trela, Piotr Więcek,  David Karkosik – we want to see you at every round of DA events. This time round it were Janis Eglite, Luke Fink and “new flying finn” Juha Pöytälaakso who were trying to apply pressure on raging 2014 champion…
