About Another shot from the Rally Of The Tall Pines in Bancroft Ontario.
This is a shot of the winning car being observed by some of the course worker volunteers.
Although I thought many of my images that day were better technically than this one, I still kept coming back to this one, even with those disturbing trees in the foreground. I'm not sure if it worked or not, but I purposely kept a slight slant on the people watching because I thought it added a feeling of tension to the image. Almost as though they were being forced to lean that way simply by being influenced by the direction the car was taking. BTW, I did straighten them out at one point and didn't like the image as much.

Thanks Nick,
I thought very similar to you on this one. I could have done without the branches, but they do seem to add a little bit of voyeristic sense to the image. I liked the human element of the course workers watching the action too.

And indeed here I see the car moving, Andre, and mooving fast and furious. I am not so sure about the reason for thatbut I think that it does have to do with the standing people there and even with the branches too. They seem to enhance the difference between the standstill and the motion in some way. Stange how some additional element may change the overall perception, isn't it?

The good sense for metalic glare in such a contrast against the matte earthy colors of the ground makes the car look not only fast but also special in its look. The reflections on it are responsible for this, I guess.

Cheers!

Thanks Glenn,
Yeah, I'd forgotten about that one. The marsh was pretty quiet that day and not a lot going on. It was a little wet but not too bad. There was a post cut off at just the right height for my little Fuji S5000 camera. It took me about three tries.
Thanks again.

Thanks Dave.
I think the DOF worked pretty well in this case. Personally, I thought the longer I look at it, the more I liked it. I didn't like it as much at first viewing.

The shot looks fine to me, Andre, and I like the way the car is sharp, with the other elements in the image slightly blurred.

I can appreciate your feelings for this shot Andre. I love the blur to the stewards/observers and the crispness of the car. Great tones and a good sense of movement from the energy surrounding the car. Well done again my good friend. My very best wishes to you as always.....Ray

Observing a rally need not imply an emotional or irrational public
