Title:Nicky Hayden
Location: Sachsenring cuit
Date: 12th July, 2013
Time: 14.29:11
Photographer’s insight:
Sachsenring is not a huge circuit but for what photography is concerned is a kind of playground and it is one of my favorite tracks. Various kinds of curves, descents, climbs and fans give me the possibility to take a lot of pictures.
For example this one: it was Saturday afternoon, during the free practice session before qualifying (that is the time in which, if everything is ok, I can spend a couple of minutes in looking for particular photos) and the weather was good.
So I climbed up a hill and through some trees, I could take this picture with two effects: speed and nature
Technical Data:
Camera: Nikon D4
Focal Length: 70/200 mm with converter 1.4
1/15 of a second
Aperture Diaphragm: 32
Weather Conditions: a little bit cloudy.
