“American Southwest” – June 17, 2009

Still debating whether or not to attend the Nascar race at the Infenion raceway this Fathers day. I must say it would be an all american experience if I did, I will just have to see.

There were other race cars at this event and even if this was just a replica I felt it calling to me. Maybe the loss of my dad had something to do with it and since I use photography as my channel it seemed fitting to combine the two.

    Nicely done, Ben :) One of his cars is at the Sahara in Vegas. I used to have a few shots of it in my portfolio but I removed them a while back. Nice work though :)

  • Ben Pacificar replied

    Had a hard time with this set, too many people walking around.

    Interesting that we BOTH went for this car as our first pieces for Red Bubble. My dad died in early 2000 too so we have a bit more in common, it seems.

    What we ALL need to know is how the heck did you get a shot with no people around and I couldn’t get in the area without some twit standing in front of me! As you can see with my shot, I had to give up and “creatively edit” that riff raff out of the focus. LOL!

  • Ben Pacificar replied

    The folks (Riff Raff) on the right were easier to remove but the folks on the left were a bit harder, hence the ghosting effect. I had to delete about 4 of the shots because as you said, too many people walking around.

    Lenny, I was trying to call you for the past 2 days because there is an HDR artist from sacramento showing his work at a winery in Davis. I’ll call you tomorrow.
