*LOL* You don't have to tell me about silly photography mistakes - I've made them all.
For not being able to see through the viewfinder, this shot is incredibly well composed! Wow!

Thanks, Becky, I'm glad you like it. To get that sort of shot, you just stand next to the sidepod, hold the camera (with a wide-angle lens) on your outstretched arm, point the camera in the right direction (you can't see throught the viewfinder, obviously), and shoot. You just have to be careful not to drop it. And to take the lens cap off. I actually failed to do that once this year, since I popped the lens on and didn't bother looking through the camera before shooting, and one of Tony Kanaan's crewman pointed it out to me. Oops.

I am by no means a car racing fan, but I love this photo and find it super compelling. The colour is wonderful and the lines on the car are simple, yet attention grabbing. (It almost looks as if he's flying a plane.) It's also a great illustration to people like myself of how absolutely tiny a space these drivers work in. How did you get such a great angle? Were you on a ladder or catwalk?

Thank you, Sarah! Yes, I was sitting there watching on tv and wishing I was there. Strange finish. I'm not quite sure what Michael thought he was doing.

Another good racing shot Mark.
Nice angle and good to see inside the car for a change. Do you wish you had gone to the US GP? What an ending!!! That would have been good to capture on camera.
