How made this Photo/ Como hice este foto

English version:
Good motorsport fans sure to quickly locate this car. Is the Porsche 917K Steve McQueen leading the legendary film Le Mans in 1970, with its distinctive blue and orange.

On the occasion of the Esp铆ritu de Montjuic, 2012, met in Montmel贸 many treasures of the competition driver. Walking through the paddock I found this car parked and quickly decided to photograph it.

The first thing I tried to convey is the sheer size of this car and how impressive it is. For this I chose a low angle, and a photograph at the eyes, does not much interest.

The second part is to decide what focal length to use. For this I mounted a 14-42mm Olympus, which is the maximum angle at my disposal. The angles make things look bigger than they really are. It is also necessary to approach as much asthe subject, in this case the car.

The background is always important. In this case had no choice, since the car is stationary, but I think that trucks do not disturb too much and put the car in a racing environment. Another important section and you have to be careful is to avoid leaving people near the car. It’s hard because a Porsche always attracts attention, so be attentive.

Here you have the EXIF data (RAW file):
鈥 semi-automatic mode Aperture priority (A)
鈥 Focal Length 14mm (35mm equivalent to 28mm)
鈥 Aperture 7.1
鈥 Exposure time 1/180s
鈥 Exposure 0.0
鈥 ISO 200
鈥 Spot metering
鈥 Fill flash with 0.7 overexposure

I also recommend taking the camera with force, since it depends on the sharpness of the picture, and make several shots with different exposures and focal lengths to get what we want.

The day was cloudy, and to compensate the image had been a little clearer, I decided to adjust the levels, and the layer hue / saturation, increase the saturation to bring out the color blue, ingress always too artificial results. To finish, applied focus layer.

I hope these recommendations will be useful, and for more information davidcucalon@yahoo.es

Versi贸n en castellano: Los buenos aficionados al mundo del motor seguro que ubican r谩pidamente este coche. Es el Porsche 917K que condujo Steve Mcqueen en la m铆tica pel铆cula Le Mans de 1970, con sus colores azul y naranja caracter铆sticos.

Con el motivo del Esp铆ritu de Montjuic de 2012, se reunieron en Montmel贸 gran cantidad de tesoros de la competici贸n automovilista. Paseando por el paddock encontr茅 este coche aparcado y r谩pidamente decid铆 fotografiarlo.

Lo primero que intent茅 transmitir es el gran tama帽o de este coche y lo imponente que es. Para ello opt茅 por un 谩ngulo bajo, ya que una fotograf铆a a nivel de los ojos, no produce demasiado atractivo.

El segundo apartado es decidir que distancia focal usar. Para ello mont茅 un 14-42mm de Olympus, que es el m谩ximo angular del que dispongo. Los angulares hacen que las cosas parezcan m谩s grandes de lo que en realidad son. Tambi茅n es necesario acercarse lo m谩ximo al sujeto, en este caso el coche.

El fondo siempre es importante. En este caso no pod铆a elegir, puesto que el coche est谩 est谩tico, pero creo que los camiones tampoco estorban demasiado y sit煤an el coche dentro de un entorno de competici贸n. Otro apartado importante y que hay que estar atento es evitar que salgan personas cerca del coche. Es dif铆cil puesto que un Porsche siempre llama la atenci贸n, por tanto estar atentos.

Aqu铆 os dejo los datos EXIF (fichero RAW):
鈥 Modo semiautom谩tico prioridad a la abertura (A)
鈥 Distancia focal 14mm (en 35mm equivale a 28mm)
鈥 Abertura 7.1
鈥 Tiempo exposici贸n 1/180s
鈥 Exposici贸n 0.0
鈥 ISO 200
鈥 Medici贸n puntual
鈥 Flash de relleno con sobreexposici贸n 0.7

Recomiendo tambi茅n coger la c谩mara con fuerza, ya que de ello depender谩 la nitidez de la foto, y realizar varios disparos, con diferentes exposiciones y distancias focales, hasta tener lo que buscamos.

El d铆a era nublado, y para compensar que la imagen hab铆a quedado un poco clara, decid铆 ajustar los niveles, y con la capa tono/saturaci贸n, subir la saturaci贸n, para resaltar el color azul, siempre evitando que queden resultados demasiado artificiales. Para acabar se aplic贸 una capa de enfoque.

Espero que estas recomendaciones sean de utilidad, y para m谩s informaci贸n davidcucalon@yahoo.es

    Great shot. The trucks in the background don’t seem to overpower the 917, but I think Godzilla would either. Nice shot.

    I don’t think the trucks affected the 917s background. Very nice lighting. Did you get out to Rennsport IV?
