This photo was taken at the NHRA U S Nationals in Indianapolis, IN.Time
It was taken around 4:30 in the afternoon.Lighting
It was a very warm day, track temperature at over 120 degrees with a light cloud cover.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon D5200 and a 55-200 mm AF-S lens.Inspiration
I shout drag racing and super car racing as a profession. I decided to meet a friend in the grandstands. If it hadn’t been for that, I would not have captured this angle of the image.Editing
Besides cropping the image, just a little enhancement of the contrast and decrease of brightness has been done.In my camera bag
Nikon D810, Nikon MB-D12, Nikon D5200, Nikon SB-912 Flash, Nikon 18-54mm AF-S lens, Nikon 55-200mm AF-S lens, Nikon 70-300mm AF-S lens. Misc; filters, battery packs, battery holders. Bogen fluid head Tripod.Feedback
Shooting from the starting live gave me practice close up, just take your time and find your special location to make that one time shot possible.
