Welcome to MinnCam!

Race and Event Photography in Central Minnesota.

The site is undergoing renovations. It’s operational, and you can find photos for recent events, but it’s not yet as pretty as we hope to make it and some functionality is not yet there. Hopefully soon! Thanks for visiting and thanks for your patience.

About MinnCam.com

This is me, Scott Ransom. I'm fortunate to live in this photo-friendly place and enjoy photographing the ever-changing environment and the birds, critters and folks that live here. I have raced in many triathlons, bike and running races, and believe I know the kind of photos that race participants like to see.

Downloads are free. Tips are appreciated.

Want one of the photos on this site? They are yours to have.

To download:

  • From a PC, low resolution, small file size (suitable for most social media):
    Right click an image, then select "Save Image As” and the location on your device to save to.

  • From a PC, high resolution, large file size (suitable for printing):
    Right click an image, then select "Magnify Image”. Right click the larger image that pops up, then select "Save Image As” and the location on your device to save to.

  • From a cell phone, low resolution, small file size (suitable for most social media):
    Tap an image, then select either "Save to photos,” or “Share” and your share destination.

And while everyone is welcome to copy/save pictures, they are for your personal use only. No publication or sales. Sharing on your facebook or instagram page is okay, but as a courtesy, please do not crop out the MinnCam watermark - that tiny bit of advertising for me helps spread the word. All photos are copyrighted.

And...there is a Tip Jar - $ used to keep this site going.

If you find yourself in any of these photos and prefer not to be included on this site, let me know and they will be removed immediately, no questions asked.

By the way, the best way to ensure your photo is NOT posted here is to display vulgar or insulting words or comments, or to advertise a political personality, party, logo, etc. on your clothing or body.

Testimonials

You can certainly judge the photos on this site for yourself, but these comments received were very nice too:

"You are so incredibly talented and it’s such a treasure for me to have that day documented with the best race photography I’ve ever seen.  On that note, I did IMWI a month or so later and I think you could school every one of their photographers.  You’re in an entirely different artistic league. Your work is beautiful!" -- L.H.

"Wanted to thank you for capturing a few pictures at the Lakes Country Triathlon. Thank you for helping to capture the event. Not my best showing however it was my wife’s first triathlon so it will always be a great memory." -- S.R.

"Scott, your photography is outstanding! Even though the day looked cold and miserable, you were able to capture some smiles and that temporarily took away the pain those runners were feeling. Very nice backgrounds too!" -- M.D.

“One of the reasons I love doing the race is the sweet photos I get out of it! Especially the biking ones - that berm is the perfect spot thank you for the work you do!” — posted in the facebook page of the Cuyuna Offroad Triathlon by M.W.
