This is the kind of shots that u need to be at the right place , at the right time .....:thumbsup:

I like this alot:lovegrin:

Hi people,

Not sure whether these 2 shots would qualify as my best shot.

But it is my best "excitement" type of shot.

1st one, #2215, Massa with angry look with a stuck fuel hose on his side.
Just in case if exif not intact.
1/350s, Av, 200mm, F4, ISO1600, spot meter

2nd one, #2227, Pit crew trying to pull the offending piece of metal out.
1/500s, Av, 138mm, F4, ISO1600, centre wt.

Mitlancer,
Thanks for that. Yes, it was a case of "The right time at the Right place".

I heard the crowd go "Ooohhh!!", that was when I knew something had happened.

This was next to emergency & safety car, just before exiting the pit lanes.

I saw Massa's red Ferrari car and went running down the steps to zoom in with my 70-200mm.

It was so exciting, I snapped at least 15 shots, while adjusting settings in between to make sure no spoilt shots.

These 2 were one of the best.

Nice shot:thumbsup:

Night race is good as the helmut visor is not tinted and we can actually see the driver's eyes;p

I shot literally dozens from this angle, but have particular affinity for this shot, mainly because of the symmetry of colour between the car and the rumble strip. I took an unconventional crop by halving the car with the road, instead of a more common rule of thirds, or centred composition. Just some light post process to improve the levels, boost colour saturation a little, and unsharp mask to achieve the final result.
