Some time ago I wrote a post called “burning rubber” about a “drifting car competition. The post was focused more on the “drifting” and included some images of the competing cars. So, while I was out there taking the shots of these cars strutting their stuff, I noticed the sun amongst some serious clouds, it was quite interesting how the light from the sun was dfiifused by the dramatic cloud formation. It was while I was looking in the direction of the sun, that I noted this cameraman perced on top of a mobile crane, elevated high above the “drifting” arean, taking shots of the action. The perfect vantage point, with the sun from behind, lighting up the action below him. Considering I was on the other side, looking at the sun, the bright light of the sun amongst the clouds was the perect backdrop for creating a silhouette of the photographer and his assistant.
Rather unusual circumstances, having this crane and the photographer elevated and creating a silhouette. I took the opportunity to get a few shots and some of those are my submission for this weeks challenge…………………the journey continues……………
Amazing images. Just beautiful…
The sun and clouds create an amazing backdrop in the closeups. Nice. My interpretation is from the Serengeti: http://wp.me/p1TywS-ps
