single photos Long Beach Grand Prix Image-Team Players Airborne

This image was taken at the Long Beach GP on Sat. April 13th 2002 in

turn 5a using a Canon D30 with a 300mm 2.8 lens and with Lexar

compact flash cards at 100 iso and 250th of a sec.

wow, looks like you caught this in mid air! that's not just my eyes is it?

Excellent catch of Tagliani. Ideally, I'd like to see a bit more to the right. I can't make up my mind whether I would like it aimed higher, too--I think I like it as-is, with the roadway curving underneath. Looks like you really nailed the focus. Great shot!

Very nice action shot.

I'd love to know the dtails of the shot. i.e. Lens/lens speed and film speed.

If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to try and find a location on the track that didn't make the background too busy. A good selection around the track can do this or perhaps getting a little higher shooting down onto the car with grass and tar being the background. This option would not allow the movement you have captured though.

Good work
