Palomar Mt.

So everyone has been telling me i should shot Palomar on a weekend. A few of us decided to go pick a turn and shoot it for a few hours before the chargers game on Sunday (what a disappointing end to a good start of a day) We end up leaving a little later than i wanted to, and on the way up we see a sweet spot to park, but there is already a guy with a camera just getting out of his car. But we trek on and find a spot to stop and shoot.

After shooting for a while, I decided I want to get a different shot so I find a spot on the inside of the turn to shoot from. By inside of the turn, I mean the rock face that is half a foot from the asphalt. It was really hard to shoot from that spot because you are blind to riders coming from both directions, so you only got a sec or two to set up the shot. I ended up moving to the inside of another turn that produced a few better shots, but had a very sketchy incident. Sitting on the inside of a turn, I hear the great sound of a twin coming from around the bend, so i get my camera up and ready. As he makes the bend, I start to pan and follow him, but he gets out of frame. I drop the camera to see where he is, and his knee puck about 6 inches from my face. Sean got the whole sequence on his 30D. Pics will be up as soon as he finishes them.

As for my pics, Here is a taste:
