Hellyer Friday Night 5/8 Photos

Given it was the first Friday night racing of the season, it's not surprising there was a big crowd on and off the track. A handful of mice went down to Hellyer on Friday to watch, including Tim, DanM, Mateo, and Bev. Racing for the Mouse were Jay, Jeff, Nole, Cathy, and Ashley.

Jeff loaned me his Canon 580 flash for the night, so I managed to get some decent photos even after it turned dark. It's so automatic and easy, it would have been helpful in the difficult light when the sun was setting, especially as fill light for the 3/4 Scratch finish, when I was shooting into the sun. With the light issues later and a lot of dupes of the 3/4 scratch (when the light was decent), this shoot had a particularly high discard rate. I only kept 25-30% of the photos.
