The Red Baron, a photo from Baden-Wurttemberg, West

Photographer's Note

You may like it, you may disagree it, but it is still the fact - Michael Schumacher, the most talented Formula 1 driver ever (I am McLaren Mercedes fan, but admit his talent). His nickname is the 'Red Baron' after a very successive WWI pilot.

The photo was taken in Hockenheim. I was enjoying this magnificent sport and also tried 'panning' technique to take photos in motion with so cool blurred background. The cars were running at apr 120-140 kmp at the point where I was capturing them (sitting 150 meters from the track:)

Postprocessing: cropped, levels adjusted, frame added.

I don't anything about who is or who is not the best Formula I driver (I did appreciate the information) however, I do know a great capture when I see one. Good job panning and cropping. Did you get others. Post some more.

Hello Igor
A clear car on a blurred background. This is an excellent example of photo panning.
