12 hours of the Cascades

[Camden Thrasher]

Although this event happened a number of weeks ago, I never got around to sharing any of my photos on here. This is the annual end of the year enduro put on put on by the ICSCC (International Conference of Sportscar Clubs) and is held at Portland International Raceway in Oregon. This year was a very miserable and rainy event which I think made me try to look at everything with a different eye than normal. I guess one might say they are more "artistic" type of shots.

Camden: I really like your "attitude" with this set. Great perspectives... unique points of view.. great atmosphere and excellent execution.

I would only add that the last two (in my opinion) weaken the set. I think if the guys standing in front of the car were actively participating in something to do with the car.... whatever... there's just no story. The look and the mood is there... but unfortunately, we don't know what they're doing. For all we know, they could be planning to steal it. LOL - they're just standing there... so other than your technical execution, the story is meh.

The last one is just cars going by in the night... not a lot there.

However, in the first one, I really like how you ran eye line the perspective of the story up the guardrail. Perfect... you can feel the "waiting."

The second one I like how it's "out of control" but enough detail is holding up that it works.

Third one is just cool... gritty... low... and I'm a sucker for going away shots. Nice.

Nice reflections and working the wet with the next too.

Your silhouette shot is my kind of shot. Great color, great quiet moment and terrific composition. Nicely done.

Good stuff.

Gotta say #1 and 6 really do it for me :)
