Car Rally

We had our car rally last weekend, organized by John Hoeben (thank you, John!). The weather was a bit challenging for the tasks, as we had to use a maximum of 20 images (like in the old film days) to come up with 12 (13 with the self portrait) images for the 12 tasks. There was not much room for error. I blasted one at the skater park and then some I think with the waterfowl and ‘movement’ tasks. Bloody hard to get it right first time if something is moving! We digital photographers are so used to continuously shooting hundreds of images to select the best one afterwards.

It was a challenge and it was fun and I learned something about me and my camera. Who won the challenge? I don’t know yet, but Guy won it two times in a row the last two years, and he tried to distract me while I was taking my future award winning flower image, so he tried hard to win it a third time! 🙂

We also had the pleasure to find out that there was a tree climbing championship going on near our meeting point in the Botanical Gardens, that was a source of some images. The car rally brought me to places I haven’t visited before and let me experience world class competitions in a sport I didn’t even know it exists, and it was quite exciting to watch!
