    This was a tough one! Loads of effort for one photo but it was worth it ! I know the audio isn’t that great in this video at times but I don’t re do my videos they’re raw and unscripted. I like to keep them that way. ❤

    As a former Endurance Motorsport photographer I can relate to this so much. Hours of planning and framing, getting the settings right, failing a bunch of times until you take that 1 photo that you just KNOW is the one you've been out there for. Watching this video brought me back to those moments and put a smile of joy and pride back on my face.
    Thank you for this story and congrats on that absolute epic shot. 1 in a million, but it's registered for life!

  • @Scythe17
    @Scythe17 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    This photo is so epic. You ignored the rules, broke the common strategies, and took a unique shot from a unique location. Your persistence prevailed, nice work. I could totally see that vertical crop at 6:44 being an F1 video game cover or magazine cover.

  • @peterwideman1425
    @peterwideman1425 ปีที่แล้ว +38

    Wow, to come out with a shot like that makes it all worthwhile. Incredible effort and dedication to persevere and get that one shot. I'm at Oulton Park tomorrow and while I won't get a shot like that, I'll definitely be doing some planning shots.

    Amazing video , but I’ve got to mention that the motion blur has clearly been done in the edit? Has nobody picked up on that? Correct me if I’m wrong though. No hate, still loved watching the story behind it and impressive nonetheless. Keep it up

    • @piotrbaranowski1
      @piotrbaranowski1 ปีที่แล้ว

      No its in camera blur. Panning shot with slow shutter speed + fast car far away and if you have luck you get similar shot.

    • @loganjohnston6651
      @loganjohnston6651 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@piotrbaranowski1 I understand how panning shots work. But take a look at the wheels. With that much blur on the surroundings the wheels would at least have gone a full rotation during the duration of the shutter, yet there is a gap in the yellow accent. The front and back of the car are always going to be very slightly blurry especially at longer shutter speeds as the perspective of the car is changing as you pan. This is going to be more apparent on wide shots but there is always going to be a bit of distortion which is not seen here.

    • @piotrbaranowski1
      @piotrbaranowski1 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@loganjohnston6651 if you look close the car is not pin sharp and from that distance blur front vs rear is minimal. Tires yellow stripes can be "cut" by the fence closer to camera, maybe thats the illusion of faster shutter or maybe he faked it im not sure. Quality is low on YT. More story than foto itself.

    • @loganjohnston6651
      @loganjohnston6651 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@piotrbaranowski1 At 6:19 you can see some more real shots where the motion blur is less blurry and more imperfect. I think it is really quite obvious that his final shot is not real. It’s also a bit suspicious that he’s not showed the RAW like he usually does.

    Great story behind the shot. I'm sorting through 4,000 shots from a hillclimb event. Same as you I was shooting really slow shutter speeds, with resulting failure rates. But then I come across a sharp car amongst all the smears and it's all worthwhile! Persistence and backing yourself gets the unique images.

  • @oksanenmedia
    @oksanenmedia ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey man, nice video! I was inside the event over the weekend with my sister and we joked about people watching from the random rooftops to take photos so it feels full circle that someone was the whole time. I was trying to shoot 1/40th a bit earlier up the straight and felt I was somewhat struggling at that lower speed so to see a 1/25th is super impressive.

  • @komr323
    @komr323 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I went to Baku last week and took some crisp shots at 1/100 70-105mm mainly. The key isn’t really just about the exposure time only but also your focal length which you didn’t mention. If you are at the roof, it should be more difficult or you need a lot more luck

  • @jenshendriks9092
    @jenshendriks9092 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quick tip: when you were showing the magic shot. You had this rapidly moving noise pattern on the background. This disturbs the TH-cam compression algorithm and renders the photo full of artifacts. Next time, you're better off showing a slow evolving wave pattern or something. Or better yet: nothing at all. That way it becomes a multi frame still that TH-cam can interpret as one image by recycling all pixel data over all frames.
