Budds Creek Photo Album

Down in a valley by the time mid-day hit it was hot and humid, literal sweat dipped into my viewfinder. Nonetheless it was a beautiful track, the trees, the dirt, the people, A+. Having trees track side always makes for great shadows in the morning and seeing those photos gets me fired up.

First practices with very smooth as I was getting a feel for the track knocking out some shots I know I needed to get. From camera to upload to edit the photos were turning out great. Motos 1 and 2 both went super smooth, and then the vast editing process came and I was stuck behind a computer for hours.

This week’s monster girl shoot was a lot less of a walk. We ended up going a shoot right in front of the trailer door. The AC felt amazing inside of the trailer.
