dono 0 Posted July 22, 2002 Is there any artistic appeal to a shot like this? Or is it purely journalistic? Link to comment
tomfox 0 Posted July 22, 2002 Can't see much artistic value I'm afraid. There is potential coming from the (quasi hallucinogenic) Orange signs. It must be very difficult to get Formula pics for the reasons you point out. If only one could get a shot from within the car ;) Link to comment
mark_scheuern 0 Posted July 23, 2002 It's Ralf! The trick is to pre-focus on the spot where you know the car's going to be, pan with the car, smoothly squeeze off the shot at the proper moment, and follow-through. And it takes lots of practice. Nicely composed except for the background (the Orange ads are rather distracting), and more background blur (by using a slower shutter speed) would be nice, as would more sharpness. But a decent effort. Journalistic and artistic aren't mutually-exclusive. See Darren Heath's work, for example. Link to comment
mike_sea 0 Posted July 25, 2002 Great shot in terms of the focus although I would like a little more light to enter the shot. I would also like to suggest a wider aperture to blur out the background. It is one of the better shots of this area of interest. Mike Sea Mike Sea Link to comment
ptn4egl 0 Posted July 27, 2002 Too much of the car again. It looks like it's sitting on the track, where's it going. You need to give the car a place to go, a sense of direction. What about cropping just to the right of the guy standing in the background and right below the orange sign? Get in there tight. Link to comment
emi_grande 0 Posted August 26, 2002 looks like we went to the same race. maybe even same corner? http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=219993 as far as art v. journalism, i question that myself. i'm more inclined to say the latter, but definitely have seen some F1 shots that could qualify as art. as far as this shot goes, it's a little too dark for my taste. i agree with previous comment about giving the car room to "go somewhere." otherwise, great capture.
