At least for me -- It comes down to how much I actually "trust" these folks/organization in addition to only getting $50.00 -- A W-9 has an awful "LOT" of your personal/private info that they can use any way they want (SCAM?)
I didn’t like what all has to go on the form for basically doing them a favor. It’s an established race supporting a Christian Academy but I still think I’m going to just skip or if I’m free that weekend I may just show up and shoot some for my webpage. It’s a superhero themed race and will be a good photo op.

The definition of W-9 -- br Form W-9 (officially, ... (show quote)
Kinda what I was thinking, I’m a runner myself but had to quit racing and I love doing race day photos for non profit organizations which are the only groups doing races to raise money. I thought it was a bit much of a request for that small amount.

To preface I do very little paid work and always stay under the reporting limits as this isn’t my main job. I recently quoted shooting some race day photos and told the guy I’d do it for $50 which just covers my gas and a few hours away from my day job. He is thrilled and said I had to provide a W9 in order to get paid. is this just as simple as printing one and filling it out as an individual? Any advice or just skip this race until I’m fully setup?
I’m starting to get ask more and more about paid jobs and I’m in the beginning stages of getting a TIN from the IRS as a sole proprietor as I want to do everything legal.

Pretty early with the Sun just coming up. I was a good bit away. No flash or anything.

Met this lady at our local Festival. She stands perfectly still till you drop a dollar in her jar then she comes alive and plays the drum for a short time.

My camera survived on just the two batteries and I don’t know how. The winner came down to a photo finish. 600th of a second separated them. Thanks for all the advice guys! Y’all are great.

The other caveat here is that while I always shoot raw it doesn’t sound necessary. Even for your own page these aren’t the kind of shots where you’re gonna need to worry about dynamic range or high MP. Those medium JPEGS should have plenty of latitude for processing and high enough resolution for social media/web posting.
That’s very true and I may just end up shooting JPG all evening. I just always shoot RAW but like the lead guy said it’s just to many to import/process & export.

You're in trouble with that camera. Do you have a DSLR you can use to extend battery life?
"CIPA rates the battery life of the EOS R6 at roughly 360 shots when using the EVF and 510 shots when using the LCD, but it all depends on how you use the camera in the field."

It’s a concern for sure and no where local to get a battery or two. I did one race at Christmas time which had 1000 runners and I didn’t use but the two batteries in my grip. I only use the LCD. The race finishes inside a big stadium so maybe there will be a place to use my charger but gosh they take forever to charge.

Maybe you could consider using larger capacity cards.

I looked up some prices for the faster, larger cards, Wow is all I can say.

Depending on your body (DSLR or MILC), you may find that battery life for 4,000 exposures may be even more of an issue.
That is one worry, I run a mirrorless Canon R6 with a battery grip. I have 2 new batteries, 2 older Canon batteries and 2 older Watson batteries. I don’t use the screen, just the view finder but the auto focus tracking each runner will hurt my battery life.

When you’re finished with the runners that you want in RAW, pop that card out of the camera. Then just keep shooting.
That’s a good though also. I will try a few shots today to make sure what happens when the RAW card is removed.

Any chance you can have a second camera for you RAW group shots? If so, in your primary camera put two cards set to JPG and the second second slot set to "overflow". That should cover your needs for the racers without having to swap cards and the second camera set to RAW for your personal needs.
I thought about renting a second camera body but didn’t for this event. I’m hoping I don’t regret that decision. But yes it would be idea to have two.

Why not just have more cards handy to swap out once the first set nears capacity?
After a few answers below my plan is to just swap the card recording the RAW images.

Big, fast cards are sooo expensive and I generally don’t ever come close to filling my 64gb cards. I don’t want to buy a card for one event.
