Great racecar! This is a shot I bet would look even better if the background had been blurred by motion (i.e.- pan the camera with the movement of the car so that the car remains clear while the background blurs). Now, I've never done this successfully myself - it takes a lot of practice! But just a suggestion.
A rare shot ,this! He sure didn't get many laps with the LAME !!! car. Hope they can get him back in the hunt! Very nice shot... Looks like you must have had 'Pro' credintials to get this close to the action... Get any sand in your camera or did you stick with one lens?
Both Mercedes burned their engines Sunday. Ironically the shuttle van that carried the team from pitlane to the hotel also melted the engine. Same brand I guess. ;-)
Nice! This would have been a good time to use motion blur, i.e. pan on the car and blur the background to give the image a feeling of speed. It's a very good photo, but could have been great. I think I'll give it an 9.
great shot of the car, but a point or two down for the hot spot on the read fender and washed out read spoiler, and the really distracting white / red pattern in the foreground.
I am especially impressed that you managed to get this picture in the short amount of time before he blew his engine. As far the image, very well captured. I espiecually like the heat induced blur on the Marlboro sign. The only downside is the reflection on the rear wing obscuring the text and the bright spot on the rear left tire wind deflector. But given the circumstances, it's quite spectacular.
Very well done photograph. Technically excellent. The wheels are dominant by sheer visual weight. I would have cropped out a bit of the distracting background, however. It doesn't really add anything to the image.
