Rubens has a great sense of humor.

I didn't notice what he was doing when he accelerated out of the turn

towards me.. I thought he was reaching for a tear-off sheet on his

helmet, but never would have thought he would be flashing me

the "Peace" sign as I leaned over the grandstand wall at 24.

 

As always your comments and ratings are greatly appreciated. -N

Norman, I don't think it was just you he was flashing a sign to. ;-) In any case, a great shot and I like the way you've cropped this image and included the curb on the left.

Hi Norman, I think that there is no way of doing this photo better, it is just excellent. When I first saw it, I felt the great cornering motion. It also created the feel of formula being oversteered although it may not be the case of Rubens :) Good positioning - much more different and unusual (good) comparing to the casual formula shots in magazines. I think this would be worth the poster on the wall!

Wow... thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words. I am fanatical about F1 and can't wait for another opportunity to shoot it. Again, thank you for taking the time to look at my work and leave the encouraging words. -NP
