Brad Kelly and I went down to CMP to ride today.. It was my first time down there and I was really impressed with the track. Someone drove the tractor all over the track and it was pretty hard to ride on so i decided to shoot a few photos of Brad riding.. The layout is awesome and I can't wait to ride there.. The dirt is unreal like loamy sand its going to be really fun to ride on when that place gets rollin. Anyways I shot for about 15 min or so but here is a couple photos from the track.

I like the photo of your puppy in the mud puddle. That is a good one!

Well in dusty conditions you get the dust orange like that by bumping up your Saturation in the camera..Other than saturation that is natural sunlight at about 4pm there yesterday but remember I was using the ultra wideangle with makes color tones darker and a bit flourecent. After that when you get home to editi on cs2 or photoshop I do this
zoom/crop. then ctrl-M that brings up a curves box.. I go to the top right about 1/4 " from the right back to the left put your cursor on the "line" and raise it up a tiny bit, it will change the highlights in your photo. Then after that do "unsharpmask" at 150
biggest thing is working with the sun you have and keeping your back to it and rotae the track clockwise. OH and get off the "running man mode" lol

Yeah! Damn those are some whoops.

But I have to admit, I really like the "steps of insanity". They beat the
hell outta me, but I really like them.

I did 20 solid laps in a row at CM last sunday. I could have probably done 30
if those whoops weren't there. But I still like them.
