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.

Zion in Axioms


Heaven at 30 miles per hour

This was an absolutely amazing day experimenting with the camera. I love to travel and have always had a passion for recording the beauty of our surroundings, but have never focused on just taking pictures for an entire day. I was lucky enough to have my mom in town for a visit and she was loving playing chauffeur for her crazy son running around like a Tasmanian Devil.

I am drawn to water like a moth to a flame. I can spend hours zoning out to sounds of nature along a rolling stream.

I was almost obsessive trying to capture the perfect moment in the waterfall and attempting different ways to freeze and blur the action. The light was dim in that part of the canyon and I neglected to grab my tripod which would have made these shots a lot easier.

This truck, and every other old truck on the planet, screamed at me from across the parking lot to take its picture. I always find it such a shame something so lovely is left to waste away to the elements. I love the rust trying to peak through.

And just one more shout out to the heavens for giving me a few more seconds of brilliant light before leaving the park for a nice deep shot. Overall I ended up with 449 photos that I will spend countless hours examining. Totally awesome day.
