Would love some cc on this one.

Nice shot. Who is it?

Please take some time to critique my portfolio found at: http://www.photo.net/shared/community-member?user_id=937226.

Basic Information .

Thank you Ryan

 

This is Dario Franchitti. Nice shot, the background to the left is blown out, but everything else looks good. Maybe just a little more light on the face, but PS can take care of this.

Thanks for the cc.

 

This is Dario Franchitti, he is one of the luckiest men on the face of the planet. Not only does he get to drive really really fast, but he's also married to Ashley Judd.

 

I realize the left is blown out, but there was just no way to hold it and still get the face. I was able to print the rest down dark enough to get some color back into the car, helmet, etc. I have another version where I have PSd part of the track back into that corner, but decided to post the unaltered version for cc. Is the blow-out that distracting? What about the mirror?

I don't think it's distracting, it's just out of focus enough, leads the eye towards the driver.

 

What equipment did you use? I'm always fascinated, because the equipment spec (lens lengths, etc) gives me a good idea of what was required to acheive the shot, pit lane/VIP access required or right place / right time?

 

Nice shot!
