CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

'Light at the End of the Tunnel' has been listed as one of the best of 2014 by stock photography website Picfair.com HERE The picture was taken in May 2013 at the  Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari  in Imola, Italy.  The shot is of the pedestrian tunnel that runs under the track to the paddock.  I saw the shot and just had to wait for a single person to walk through and reach the perfect point under the lights. Check out this LINK and see the other stunning images that have been placed alongside our shot - it is great to be included alongside such great work! The image was shot on a Nikon D800 fitted with a Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 AF-S lens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BLOG BY VISITING THE ADVERTISERS ON THIS PAGE By clicking on the adverts you are helping support this blog - thank you. ------------------------------------------------...

This shot of the pedestrian tunnel under the track at Imola is a perfect example.  I was walking over the local park where the Ayrton Senna memorial is situated to get some shots and pay my respects - more on this in tomorrow's blog. The tunnel caught my eye immediately with the subdued lighting and the ribbed walls providing the perfect lead in lines.  Using the 17mm end of the 17-35mm wide angle lens the lines were  exaggerated even further. But I decided I needed a focal point at the end of the tunnel to further improve the composition.  Luckily one of the spectators attending this weekend's event walked through the tunnel and I only had to wait for him to reach the optimum point so I could take the shot.   Nikon D800 - Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 AF-S - 1/15 @ f7.1 - ISO 400 ...
