Sometimes when you are in a rut you need to try something a little different. I have always been intrigued by these type of shots so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I’m sure I will give it another go sometime because it has a lot of potential for days that it is just too darn hot outside to want to do anything.

All I can say is this. Thank goodness for digital. I would never have tried this with film! Just to get this one took me about 75 exposures…. It was a fun experiement though!!

I had the opportunity today to go out to Texas Motor Speedway and see teams from all over, including internationally, compete in the first day of the Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge. We certainly had plenty of sun for them!

These kids build these cars and then they compete against the other teams. One of the main points is to see who can go the furthest in the alloted time. Sounds like the fastest would always be the winner, but that isn’t always the case. If your car doesn’t hold together and you fail to finish the time, you don’t get credit for your distance. Kind of like the old tortise and the hare story…..

It was a fun time. Hot, but fun!
