Some random shots around Hickory Motor Speedway, it's tough shooting when your holding a camera and an umbrella.

Annual Report in Hickory

Shots from Hickory Motor Speedway. Did I mention it was pouring down raining ? You have to work with what you got. Out of 12 shots for the annual report this was the only one with really bad weather. I think the umbrella is a nice touch.

feeling lazy with the Hazy

I had a small product shot of a pedometer, silver and black ...... I should think about getting one of those light tents for small products. I tried afew different set-ups and this one worked the best, a sweep on the left and right side to give some dimension to the pedometer. I couldn't find my pocket wizard sync cord for the Hazy light, so I had my SB-800 on a SC-17 in my pocket to trigger the slave on the pack. kinda funny ..........

Some random shots from DC. I got alittle bored in the hotel room ..........

packing
