abrewer Posted May 31, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple more here from the Indy 500, then I'm going to put the rest up on my gallery over at the LUG and you can look at them without overloading Andreas' board.... First one walking along pitroad before the cars are gridded, teams practicing pit stops one last time. Note the car is still up on the airjacks as the outer rear tire-changer clears. Second, following one of the Vision Racing cars down to the end of the wall that separates pits from track on the way to the grid.

lambroving Posted May 31, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 31, 2007 Allan, More boring roundy-round racing, eh? Like the framing of that first one. Good action. Saturation looks a tad low, which is shocking for you! Try some Portra 400 VC for light like this. Think you might like it a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted May 31, 2007 Share #3 Posted May 31, 2007 Hi Allan, I like this a lot. The tyre in the foreground adds to the impression of depth and the guy on the right and some dynamics to the image. You are a lucky, lucky man to be able to get in these locations. I an very, very jealous <grin> Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 31, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 31, 2007 Agreed - this is a most interesting series. Surely, Portra is designed for portraits and gives a very natural colour pallette, not a saturated one? I have a load of Portra 120 in my Bronica bag for Scotland, and I'd be horrified if I had a punchy, over-saturated experience to look forward to. Thank goodness I didn't get the VC stuff!

elansprint72 Posted May 31, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 31, 2007 Allan, Another privileged viewpoint- aren't we the lucky lads? I know from many years experience that there is a split-second in these situations to decide what to shoot, where from and the exposure; you grabbed an excellent on-the-fly viewpoint and got the angle. You obviously had a trying time with the weather on that day; were this my shot, I'd be converting it to B&W and printing it heavy, because it's a really good image and the lighting looks just too flat for decent colour rendition.

stuny Posted June 4, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2007 Allan - A delightful pair, but I really like the feeling of levitation in the first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted June 6, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 6, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great work Allan. The first shot especially is very dynamic. It certainly pays to get your knees dirty on occasion. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
