Lighting
I swear there is no better light for race pics than a night race, or is it just Qatar? The colors are so enhanced. Beautiful!
Rossi's dayglo colors do well too. Love the blues on the Yams.
The black band on Aoyama's arm is so heart-wrenching and respectful it breaks my heart.
I think all the Honda riders
wore a black band on their arm, and they all mentionned Japan in their conference after the 1st day of test.
Maybe not Simoncelli?
Day One:
Isn't it interesting how you can see the knee-slider tracks mixed in with the rubber arcs on the first day? (See Simoncelli picture)
Great stuff, Scott! Thank you.
(P.S.: Something tells me it's going to be hard to pick up all the color on the Rizla bike in the dark, eh? What's that one like in person?)
Can the knee sliders
really leave tracks on the asphalt?
