Shooting Events Off Road-SCORE-Jeep Events - Wham... ouch... missed it. Had smacked myself on the back of my neck and the buzzing persist all around me. Just hope the flying multi-leged, furry black, key-chain size intruders dont get to friendly with me. Waiting for 4 hours now, posted out on the black night for a vehicle of any kind. Remainds me of the 5 consecutive Eco-Challenge endurance competitions I have covered for Discovery Channel. Only these time Iam waiting on the rigs and not following a 4 brotherhood team thru mountains, valleys, ice carveses, caves, oceans, camel rideing, jumbaring wasterfalls, etc..on their 300 mile penitence. Something is sure.... (1)- these time I can get runned over. And (2)- like in the Sahara and Australia, Iam exposed to extreme climates. Fainting hot in the day and freezing cold at night. Also share the loving local fauna too, so that I dont get lonely. Have to be respectful with the semi dormed diamon head snakes, any number of crawling thingies to my boots and all the imaginable flying biters and stingers you can think of. The aborigines tought me well to stump my feet when walking to scare away snakes.... wonder who is more frightened. Have to be on a watch out cause its pitch black on the desert and the monster size rigs fly over men size cactuses and bushes with no compasion. Their 36 inch rubbers are fierceless cheered up by the roaring 750 hp. All soaked up in moskito repellent I dont care for my gear slipping on my fingers.... just practicing to manualy fast focus on my lens. Have to menage to properly flash expose, no burn-outs, in a milisec with no focusing reference on my viewfinder.... in pitch black. The sky is beautiful, countless stars... just wished the blasting 4x4 will call the day and pose for me on a bulb long exposure for a fine art calendar promo.
