{Roseville,Sacramento Photographer}: 25 Hours of Thunderhill

In Willows this past weekend for the annual 25 Hours of Thunderhill. Race cars of all different types, pros to club racers compete in this endurace race. Non stop race around the track for 25 hours! The air was brisk, the wind was unforgiving and the cold temperature was biting!

One of the benefits of being married to a motorsport fan is that I get to go and bring my camera and snap away at cars, really COOL cars. One of the benefits for him married to a photographer is my photo equipment, my gear.


We took both camera's and all of our lenses and just had a hey day. All images of which I will be compiling for the pro team that David helped out that weekend. I had hot patches from REI stuck on to my body for warmth and two loose warmers for each of my hands, my long johns under my clothes, gloves and winter coat and snuggled into my sleeping bag to sleep in the car while the race whizzed around me. These guys are hard core..no sleeping in fancy motels for this race. Even this sweet little girl was cold...


David did manage to get this fabulous shot (the last photo in this post) and this one in the dead of night... 34 degrees, tripod, 4 second exposure, 20mm lens, wide open... (see the red streak? those were the cars..)

He's definitely finding his niche.

Have a great Wednesday!

BerryPickers

The last day of summer, the day before school started, we went with our friends to Amber Oaks Berry Farm. I'm so glad we did. The kids had a lot of fun picking berries and roaming around the grounds.


Collectively, we managed 18 baskets of fresh, off the vine, blackberries, between our 3 families.



and for me...a great location to photograph all the kids. That's always a bonus.
That's my Jensen and little Zara. Apparently, they are married now.


My sweet Belles and her basket.


Ingrid and her stash and stain. She told me that she knows how to pose now. Okay. Thank you very much darling girl. Oh, yes, pose she did! :)



Ever so stylish Paige. She managed to wear her fashionable shades the whole time picking berries. It wouldn't surprise me if she also wore cucumbers on her eyelids when she napped ;)


Paige's twin, Olivia. Proud as a peacock, showing off the new gap of her pearly whites.


My little sportin' dude with his berries. Thank you Uncle Scott for the cool shades, yes, he's been wearing them a lot lately.


and Mr. Liam, Ingrid and Zara's little brother. Cool as a cucumber the whole time. Not one fuss. A dream-boat.


and the big sisters, I'd be in trouble if I didn't show them off too!


In addition to the berries, we picked out tomatoes to our hearts content.


What a great morning! Thanks girls for inviting us along.


And in case you're wondering...I found these cool TTV frames that I've been having fun with from Nesster on Flickr. What do you think of the effect?
