Number 38, a photo from Madeira, Islands

Photographer's Note

Second from the Madeiran Rally last year. Used some fill-in flash as it was getting a bit dark.

Ah Mark

What is this for a grey Monday morning! Pure porn! not the smutty stuff obviously, but for a Rally fan and sometime photographer, this brings a smile to the face, not to mention other bodily reactions! Perfect tight crop, blur of the crowd, colour, good use of the fill-in too.

Good work my man, certainly cheered me up after yesterdays turgid efforts at Anfield.

Regards

David

Hello Mark,
A superb capture of this speeding vehicle. Excellent colours and sharpness. Hope your flash didn't put him off his stride ;-)

A fine panning shot Mark, although I think I'd have preferred it with slightly looser framing, with more space in front of the car especially.
Your technique was good though - there's a great sense of movement thanks to the blur in the wheels and the background streaking past as the car speeds by.
Good stuff.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Mark, I like the way you caught the speed with the blurry bg. Great sharpnes of the car and a nice view on the driver. all the best, Nino.

Hello Mark,
A great example of the panning technique in a very fitting theme!
My congrats for this one...I enjoy very much,for one more reason,that I never take such a fine scene with panning method!

Cheers,
Thomas
