Seriously my body took more abuse as a photographer this past weekend then it does, while co-driving in the car!

Who would have thought doing 1000 squats throughout the weekend would make my legs turn to jello!

Who would have thought hoofing it all those Kilometers for the perfect shot would leave my joins aching!

and really who would have thought the cars would take that line through the ditch! Dodging cars is dangerous mmkay?

But it was a lot of fun (some highlights):

Wow Chris, For a non photographer, those are some amazing pictures! You've got skill boy-o!
I find the thing that gets the sorest for me is my abs, from shivering for 2 days solid.
I guess I don't feel the whole leg thing anymore now that I run 14-21 km a week (some run to get healthy, I run to be able to make it back and forth in the control zone without dying)

But seriously! Those are some awesome pictures.

Make sure you check out Totem Nov 22-23 Cache Creek- Clearwater!

On SS16 we broke a wheel but no flat. but is was hitting the rear suspension. so on the road section we were changing it and i had to start pushing the car when it started falling off the jack with no wheel on. and i felt a pop in my foot. then it felt like jello. i fell and started talking like a sailor. i managed to get the wheel back on. and get to service on time. then went and did 2 runs of helmer with it. i could only use my right foot for gas. too painful for the brake. so all left foot braking.

First off, nice shots Chris. They are pretty solid. Secondly, the exercise will do you good you hobo.

ROFL- ouch! But perhaps he's got a point lol! If its like that on a regular basis, I think we'd have to change it from "Rally Photography" to "The Rally Photography Sport" :)
