Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week 2020: A Photographer's Paradise

The Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week, a thrilling event that brings together car enthusiasts and photographers alike. As we set off on our journey, my friend Ann, who is also an avid photographer, and I were excited to capture the action-packed moments that this event has to offer. With coffee in hand and a few doughnuts to fuel our adventure, we hit the road at 3:30 am to pick up Robert and make our way to the Salt Flats.

Last year's race was a spectacle that left us both in awe, providing plenty of opportunities for photographers to snap some incredible shots. It was no surprise, then, that Ann had been looking forward to this year's event since she first learned about it. For Robert and her, it marked their introduction to the world of salt flats racing, and they were eager to experience it all again.

As we arrived at the Salt Flats, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The vast expanse of white salt stretched out before us, a perfect backdrop for the high-speed action that was about to unfold. With cameras at the ready, we settled in to capture every moment of this thrilling event.

For photographers, traveling with a fellow shutterbug can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, you have someone who understands your passion for capturing the perfect shot. On the other hand, you may find yourself constantly stopping to take advantage of unexpected photography opportunities, much like Ann did when she suddenly shouted 'stop the car!' in order to snap a particularly great shot.

As we navigated the Salt Flats, we encountered numerous drivers and teams who were more than happy to share their stories and experiences with us. It was clear that this event brought together people from all walks of life, united by their passion for speed and racing.

In the end, our trip to Bonneville Speed Week 2020 was a resounding success, both in terms of capturing some amazing photos and experiencing the thrill of high-speed racing up close. For Ann, Robert, and myself, it was an unforgettable adventure that we will surely cherish for years to come.
