I have been playing with composing pictures with a much tighter crop than I would normally choose. The fingers strumming the guitar strings, rather than the whole musician, for example. This pic of a car in action during the recent Total Tour Natal Rally is composed way tighter than most of the others from that shoot, yet it tells the story of the day pretty well.
This particular car was a Ford Focus specially imported into South Africa a few days before the race. It didn’t last long, unfortunately, because it burned out through an electrical fault on the second day of the rally, the day after this picture was taken.
The next picture is is an example of one of the other ones I took which, although quite nice, isn’t as powerful, in my opinion.
Love the crop – you really nailed it. Great shot.
