A few more from Long Beach

[Bruce Ehrlich]

Some more from Long Beach, mostly from the Superphoto towers or any of the other very limited opportunities to shoot through the fences.

Third shot is nice. I like the tight crop on #7 too. Where as #1 is a bit static. I like the look but the car's a bit stalled.

Don't get frustrated by the lack of access. Trust me, it's tough on either side of the fence. My blog this week talks about "thinking outside the hole." Maybe you might pull some ideas from it.

Thanks. Enjoyed the blog article. You're right of course, and while I was working at thinking outside the box, in the case of a track like Long Beach with chain link essentially everywhere it is all too easy to blindly shoot the same thing year after year. I particularly like your thoughts about getting up high. Your shot along the front straight from the Hyatt really captures "Long Beach."
