Default Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari



Kimi Raikkonen in his Ferrari. Raikkonen is favourite to win the 2007 F1 Drivers Championship.


"Formula One, abbreviated to F1, and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motor sport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors." {courtesy of Wikipedia}


I think this is my favourite of the images I took over the weekend I was in Melbourne for the Grand Prix a few weeks ago. Fiddled with contrast and brightness to get this look...was looking for a "poster effect". I was in the gallery over the pitlane - Canon 400d and 70-200mm at full zoom. Exposure: f/4.5, 1/800 seconds


Shot in RAW, cropped, resized, framed, contrast and brightness adjusted.

Nice shot Somehow his intensity comes through. But the shot is a bit too vertical for me. I'd prefer a more diagonal line.

Hi!

Thanks for the input - it's an interesting thought. The shot was originally slanted due to the angle I was at. Sadly leaving it angled would have included more road and less car. But yes, I accept what you say - the angle in the original does look a bit more dynamic.

Thanks again!
