While I was shooting at the drag strip tonight, Garry, the
groundskeeper, came out to chat. I told him I wanted to come back when
the weather was a little nicer to get a photo of him with the track
behind him - he thought that would be nice.
Question - to maximize the photo, and also to make it recognizable, I
really need to have him and the fading "US30 AHRA" shield in the photo.
You've seen the basic layout. I'm making the following assumptions:
1) I need to do it close to mid-day so I don't have long shadows behind
or in front of him
2) If I'm going to get him and the shield in the same photo, I'm
probably going to have to bring a stepladder and shoot from above him
3) Probably need to use a mild tele to compress the scene. He's got a
fairly wide face, and "beer drinker's nose" so I don't want to
exaggerate that by getting up close with a WA
Thoughts?
