2016 Pikes Peak Hill Climb photos on Autoblog.com
The Pikes Peak Hill Climb is undoubtedly one of my favorite events of the year. It’s not without its challenges – waking up early enough to be on a freezing cold mountain at 3:30am four days in a row is quite unpleasant – but it makes for some incredible images. My photos from all four practice days can be seen here (1) (2) (3) (4).

For the second practice day of the 2012 Pikes Peak Hill Climb I turned my attention to the Unlimited and Time Attack classes that should set the fastest times on the mountain come race day. You can see all of the photos from the practice session over at Autoblog.com.

History is made (and captured) as the ten minute barrier falls at Pikes Peak
The summit of Pikes Peak can be a harsh environment, even in June. It’s also not necessarily the best place to take photos at the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, especially considering the scenery available on the rest of the mountain. So why would I spend 10 hours dealing the thin air at 14,000 feet, near-freezing temperatures and 40 mph winds for ten hours? To capture history. Check the best Camera straps at
Pikes Peak Hill Climb photos, Practice Day 3
Pikes Peak will be completely paved over next year, and since I’ll be on the summit for race day, this was the last time I’ll ever photograph the cars on dirt. Such a shame, as the dirt adds such a wonderful element to photographing the cars go up the mountain. I made the most of it, catching the cars come up around a turn with the sunrise in the background, and hanging out on the inside of a hairpin to see (some) drivers skillfully drift through the turn. The pavement might make for fast times, but the dirt will surely be missed.

Pikes Peak Hill Climb photos, Practice Day 2
Day two at Pikes Peak. Last year this section (the upper third) was still dirt, and it was strange to see the cars charge up the hill on the new pavement. The scenery isn’t quite as special as the middle section, but there was still some good photos in the making. The sun hitting off the rocks near the bottomless pit between mile 16 and 17 was pretty spectacular for just a few minutes. You can see all the photos from today over at Autoblog.com.
