Daytona 500

This year I was able to capture another unique view from Victory Lane at the Daytona 500 (with the help of fellow photographer Matthew Stockman). This image of Ryan Newman celebrating was made with a remote camera mounted on a building behind the action. Much careful planning and a lot of luck went into the end result. I used a Canon EOS 1D Mark III with a 15mm lens set at Shutter Priority 30th/second -1 stop. My goal was to deliberately try and capture the strobes from the other photographers as the winner exited the car. There were several successful frames, but this one in particular stands above all the rest. The sheer number of strobes, the pattern they were in, and the gatorade were all happy accidents.
