I was lucky to use this picture from the Cart Series Grand Prix, which took place in Monterrey Mexico this weekend.

The pilot is Adrian Fernandez, one of the leading mexican pilots in the competition.

I hope you like the croping of the picture, as it gives more a sense of motion, in my opinion.

First, for anyone who didn't find this appropriate for "Time", I can't agree. This photo is perfect for "Time", in a much better way than any photos of a clock, watch, etc.. This is an excellent example of panning in photography, which is not always so easy. Very nice colors, focus (though focus not perfect), and lighting (seemed near perfect, but, were you using a polarizing filter on your lense? Seems like some glare could be eliminated). This is only my opinion, and I'm not an expert photographer, but, I didn't like the crop. I don't feel it added anything to the picture, it only subtracted the rear of this car, which, in my opinion, makes the car look slower, not faster. It still leaves an impression of "racing against time", and I think this is an excellent shot! I think you got a lower score (5.1684?!) than you deserved. I noticed alot of voters gave this 3's and 4's, I'm surprised. Oh, I forgot to say that this is your critique club critique.

Nice motion blur! Very nicely taken. I've found it so hard to get this kind of clicks. Good job!

está muy padre. si tan sólo estuviera centrada...

no te creas.

se ve muy bien. lo único que me gubiera gustado es que la velicidad estuviera representada más dramáticamete, es decir, que no fuera tan rápido el obturador para que inclusive se moviera un poco hasta el carro.

la composición está perfecta y el foco, impresionante.

q se jodan estos pendejos.

Great shot! Panning really gets the feeling of speed across well.

the blur in this shot brings out the evocation of time well. you're working with a limited pallette here, green and gray. For me, it makes it slightly less engaging. Still, a nice sports shot.

Well done. These are difficult shots.

Picture the car centered...
03/25/2003 01:11:53 AM
I wouldn't have cropped the rear of the car. Otherwise it's a nice shot.
03/24/2003 10:47:44 PM
cart rules, you would get a higher score if it was f1:)

Ummm not for me in time. Nice capture tho. Would be perfect for sport photo if we the whole car
03/24/2003 01:45:57 AM
Great photo!

Nice idea, good colours. It's a shame that the whole car isn't in the shot but I guess you did well to get any of it with the speed it was probably doing!
03/24/2003 01:11:25 AM
