Read more: Monster Energy at Gatebil Rudskogen festivalMonster Energy supports Gatebil festival for many years now by bringing together international drift and motorsport stars. This year Gatebil veterans like Luke Woodham and Dmitriy Illyuk were joined by Sultan Al-Qassimi, Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni and off-road star Casey Currie. Guys try to put a show on and off track.

Guest Post // Robert Linevskij / Rudskogen Motorfestival
Read more: Guest Post // Robert Linevskij / Rudskogen MotorfestivalGuest Post Author: Robert Linevskij // Facebook / Instagram I believe most of freelance photographers know that feeling when you get a call or an email from customer saying that in couple of days they need you at an event and then you’re just left there living the rest of the days thinking how cool the weekend is going to be. This time I was invited to Rudskogen Motorfestival as a cameraman for Superbike Round 1 & 2 finals, so the rest of the time I spent on the track photographing cars in action. Rudskogen Motorfestival is a growing automotive…

Gatebil Rudskogen // 2016
Read more: Gatebil Rudskogen // 2016Just before the current trip to Gatebil I realised that this would be my fifth time at the event. A small anniversary then. So why do I keep coming back? Since I even didn’t like last year’s event that much. Not to mention that I’m getting more and more introverted with age, so loud parties and 40 000 crowds are usually a no-no to me. Heck, I even bought a pair of noise cancelling headphones recently, just to keep the outside world a bit more away. I can’t really explain it, but every time the dates for next year’s main…

VSCO iOS app Filters test
Read more: VSCO iOS app Filters testI 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.

How hard can it be to make a “Gatebil” in Baltics?
Read more: 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…
