Snapped this while giving the car a cool down break.

I kind of wish I could have been there with the camera.

I say kind of, because I have some friends that where there, and got to caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Took this while doing some work on the car.

My 10 month old was a great help with tools until he dropped that

wrench on me.

Took this during the winter time while the car was parked. Had very little

room to work as the garage is a bit full with the sleeping car.

Donno if I would risk the shot with panning.

I would recommend shooting wide open with a fast shutter speed. That would crispen up the detail in the wheels. It would also bring the focus straight to the rider, as the background would be blurred.

On a side note, this is a major teaser shot for myself. There is still snow on the ground outside. Can't wait to get out riding.

Thank you for the comments.

I fully agree, I should crop it a bit tighter

As Doug had mentioned, this is a photo I have visited a few times.

I think it is the story it tells. The one that only a photographer could truly understand.

Amazing capture.

This was my first attempt.

Going to take another try tomorrow

Scott,

I did notice the color to be a bit off on this one. At least it is not as bad as a shoot a few weeks ago. Even after setting the white balance with the gray card, the model's purple shirt turned out to be bright blue in the photos. All other colors looked normal.

This one was taken pretty late last night and had not seen photoshop except to resize it.
