Day 2 from Colorado Springs – Rock Climbing and BMX

Today is Day 2. I have some images from Rock Climbing and BMX.

7:30 am until 2am is not leaving much time for sleep but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do.

“You can sleep when you’re dead”

Here are a few shots:

It's all about the details

Skateboard Photo Shoot 1st Day of Workshop

I am in Colorado Springs this week at The Summit Series Sports Photography Workshop.
I will try to do a little post everyday but we’re working about 12-14 hours a day so it doesn’t leave a whole lot of time.
Most of this afternoon was spent at a local skatepark with a few local rippers.
The use of remote flashes and great clouds made for some interesting photographs.
All photos were made using 2 off camera remote flashes triggered by radio poppers.
Enjoy:

Shooting with the sun behind your subject is fun when using remote flashes.
