I had an idea: if we went up onto the freeway and I hung out of the back window of the Gasoline Alley truck as we passed the dealership it might be a shot.
To impart a sense of movement, the trick is to slow the shutter speed right down and hold the camera as steady as possible.
But I have to admit, this was one of those times when I was simply shooting in burst mode and the perfect framing was a split-second fluke. The way the trees frame the helmet, the alignment of the logos ....
The more you shoot, the more you keep. I learned from watching the professionals I worked with over the years that while most people take one or two shots—if that—the pros start with ten.
Shoot heaps then delete the junk.
