    Default Wall Stadium Speedway; Front Straight Spinout

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Wall Stadium Speedway is a 1/3mile high bank, asphalt short track where cars in the modified division often break 100mph. Here, two cars got loose coming out of turn four and ended up spinning their way down the front straight. Fortunately. no one was injured. October, 2013.

    Fairly straightforward processing in LR5>PS and topaz labs to enhance texture and clarity as tire smoke from the two spinning cars almost completely obscured the view.

    Hi Randall, a different kind of fog for sure, but a cool action shot! Good job of punching up the contrast so the cars can be seen better.

    Hi, Randall, it does look like fog Great action shot. I might be inclined to desaturate the green grass (or maybe cropping out the bleachers and letting the grass be the top of the frame and leaving it the way it is).

    An action photo for sure. You did a great job making the cars as well as the smoke easy to see. Good composition. I like the effects. Sounds like an exciting type of racing, and reminds me of the one and only car race I've seen--Nascar.
