Sea Otter Classic: Dual Slalom

[dmourati]

We showed up just in time for the dual slalom. Cool event. First time I've ever seen anything like it.



Gotta get up early tomorrow, more to follow.

The Sea Otter Dual Slalom is one of my favorite events to photograph. It's a beautiful location and dual slalom racing is the best! Bummed I'm not there to shoot. On the other hand, today I'm gonna go ski and take pictures at Brighton's season closer. That will be fun

Hope you share more from the Otter!

Looks nice!

I'm hopefully gonna be posting my writeup from the S.O.C later today since I got to go on Thursday.

I was also at SO for the Dual Slalom Cat 1 practice and race. Very low key crowd and very intense racing (these guys take it seriously). Here are some that I like:

Great little hip turn right before the pedaling starts


Dead Heats



Hay bale needs a hug

This happened right when I got there the first day and was the third photo of the day

Still have to edit and post the rest of the 1000+ photos from the DS and DH practices and races. This must be a record of two SO's in a row with wonderful weather (no rain).

I'm back after another glorious day on the slopes. I don't have too much time to edit these so I'll just go SOOC. I guess I need an ND filter next time. Shot these mostly with the 50mm 1.8.
