Location
This photo was taken from the upper terrace of Mugello in Scarperia in May of 2014 at the MotoGP.Time
I remember I had just installed my old Zoom reaching up to 300mm, and I was trying to do the panning motion to that, however, at that point went by really fast.Lighting
I was trying different shutter speeds and different openings to find the right acombinazione between the speed of the bike and the proximity to the subject. Eventually I found an excellent compromise to achieve click you see.Equipment
I took freehand without the aid of nothing and for this reason are not dropped much with the times because the risk was considerable moved (while having the stabilized objective). I took the focal 300 f / 14 1/60 ISO80 with my previous Nikon (D4S)Inspiration
I wanted to make a pannin done well from a privileged position. And so it was.Editing
Very little postproduction. I developed the raw and accentuated a bit 'the definition of the picture. Slightly increased contrast.In my camera bag
Now in my bag i have NIKON D5 e D750. The three classic Nikon lenses that make up the triad (14-24; 24-70; 70-200 all f.2.8); the 85mm f1.4 and 105mm macro and in addition to the focal Doubler. I also have the Tamron 150-600 plus filter, flash and troipodFeedback
The advice I give is to accurately calculate the point at which to focus and close the iris to make sure that what is photographed in sharp focus. Very often also it happens (if not prendette the bike perfectly parallel) which is not in focus the front than posterioe. Diaphragm then closed. Then it comes to trying different shutter speed and learn to go with the whole body of the photographic subject movement. Better if you help with a monopod (which I did not). The rule would speed slower shutter as that used by me, but the proximity of the subject (after several tests carried out) has collected the desired results 1/60
