Now see that, see that.... I must smile about what you ince told me, Andre, namely that "great minds think alike". Guess what? I was really thinking about those films with Eastwood! Exactly!
And then I also continued that to his own movies later on, when for example exactly the same glare appears and disappears so suddenly in some city scene, for example in "Dirty Harry" series.
I really must raise my glass to you!
Cheers, alike mind! ;-)

Hi Nick,
What comes to mind for me are those scenes in the old Clint Eastwood Italian westerns. The gunfight, showdowns in the sun. I think there were a few scenes in those movies where that sun glare is quite effective in creating tension and unpredictability.

Hi Andre!
Well, to put it right this is not something I "discovered" alone on my images. I just remember some scenes of some movies when the camera makes a turn or a swing and for some few parts of a second a glare or a ray passes quickly form left to right or similar. This was for me always something very "real" despite the fact that we of course never see this with our eyes and without the camera. It is sometimes a "hint" for me, as if the photographer was telling me that the sunlight (or any other light) was very strong. Something like that. But of course it must fit the overall scene very well too.
Cheers!
Nick

Thanks Nick,
Usually, when I see one of my images is partially over-exposed, I see it as something to correct or overcome some how. But, when I look at it from your point of view, there is some merit to showing some strong light coming in from a certain area.

I had that feeling indeed, Andre, but it is nicer if you also tell me that it really was this way.
On a related note, sometimes the presence of such an overexposed area seems to add much on such images, especially if accompagnied with sume flares, I guess. It can look very "real" for some reason.
Cheers!

Thanks for the great comment on this one Nick. Your obsorvation is correct about the light coming in from the left of the frame. As the image before, the sun was very bright and coming from the same direction as the previous shot.

I am stunning but one thing I must say! That opportunity aou really grasped from its hair, Andre! Just in time just in focus for documenting the action and the thrill of it. It is not only the rapidly moving car and the freezing up of the tiny moment on which tension gets its maximal calue. It is as well all those guys that of course don't move on the image, no more than the car does on the image. But the way they stand there... they don't really stand. They raise the cameras, and stand up, and sit down, and search for the very best angle inside some few milliseconds. It is this latent motion that raises the tension so high here.
The whole DoF provides such a big amount of details to see. Even the small stones that the tyres accelerated off groung are just as if I could get them from the air and let them fall down. The lighting is perfect too, expect on the lower left corner where there seems to be a combinated result of overexposure and lower contrast. I guess it was the sunlight?
Anyway, more of them please!!!
Nick

Thanks Ken,
Sometimes you just get lucky with things like that. I can't honestly say I planned it that way.

Thanks Ray,
And what that photographer doesn't realize is that I got the "supreme" shot instead of him, by including him in my image.
Only kidding, of course. ;).... Well half kidding, anyway. :)

Great action shot again Andre and I love photographs catching photographers at their work. One of them is doing a very neat balancing act on the crash barriers so that he can capture the supreme shot. Great perspective my friend, lovely tones and superb details. Well done to you for another excellent capture. As always my very best wishes to you........Ray
