Last year this photo was 'wrecked' by a large white tent in the background of the carousel at Mid Ohio. Not in 1997. The dark trees, especially with the low diffuse light on sunday morning, were perfect for this angle. Setting the camera manually for a neutral, bright car is the trick to get a 'dark' car to look 'dark' - otherwise the camera lightmeter wants to compensate and overexposes such photos.
