This is a collaboration with myself and Bill Gamblin / Thanks for letting me use your photos Bill Inspired by Simple Man By Lynyrd Skynyrd which was also played in a tribute to Dale Earnhardts death Listen To Music I took two of Bills Photos one of which was the nascar track and race cars and another photo of Dale Earnhardt and layed them together erasing some of what was in one of the photos using photoshop, I then used the adjustment of opacity to blend these two photos together. I do hope you like this inspirational piece of what use to be and what will still be; because the simple man will still be watching over all of you and NASCAR… /

The Earnhardts / 3 layers / A Collaboration with Bill Gamblin and Myself
An exact replica of Dale Earnhardt’s car was displayed at Capitol Park Sacramento, CA this last weekend. It was a bit more than spooky since I watched Dale’s final race “live” and the crash wasn’t even remotely fearsome. In fact, it was so tame the announcers and cameramen stayed focused on it only because it stopped the race. By the time I knew how deadly it was I was reading it in the morning newspaper. I wrestled with what to do with this shot. It is a memorial tribute so I leaned towards monotones but the background was impossibly busy with fans and sightseers. I blurred the car and felt I was blurring the memory as well. So I settled upon blurring the car – Dale’s car – in time by taking the current day bystanders out of focus. Using the selective editing tool is a nightmare when everything has the same tones, hues, colours, lines, contrasts, etc. I suggest anyone interested in trying it ask me for the original shot and I’ll give you a crack at it. If you’re better at it than me, we’ll call it a collaboration and I’ll substitute it for the one. :-)

Location: Downtown Sacramento / Technique: HDR (High Dynamic Range) / Workflow: 6+ Raws – Matix Pro – Finalized in CS4 / Equip: Canon 5D OG Featured in group: / “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.

I took this pic during qualifying at the Fontana NASCAR race in 2007. I swear he was looking straight at me as I snapped this shot (but with his glasses on, one never really knows..)
