Hard News - Red Rock and Racers

2016 SKYWEST Mini Indy

f/22 1/40 sec. ISO-160 110mm

Today was the perfect day for some experimental fun with my camera. I had been planning on attending the event for several years and it presented the perfect opportunity to try something different. The great thing about this location was being nearly inside the action and close to so many people having a great time. I went with the intention of focusing on the cars and just playing around with shutter speeds, but found some great bonus stuff along the way.

On my last post I commented on how much I enjoyed working in the studio with the class, however, it was nothing compared to the awesome afternoon I spent with my grandparents getting these shots. It makes an incredible difference being able to personally interact with the model and getting my grandma to laugh and smile on cue was just way too much fun. I may be a little biased here too, but I think she is one of the prettiest grandmas on the planet. Even with natural light I think I prefer Rembrandt positions to create the most interesting pics. I am so glad we took a second shot at this assignment.
