Parker Johnstone during Qualifying at Laguna Seca. Diving into the corkscrew, seen from above, I didn't even notice that he was sticking out his left hand to indicate to traffic behind on which side to pass. Without the hand, the image would not be in this selection, but with this added impact, the picture was perfect. Great light in Laguna Seca helped, too - even though the sun was behind the car, there was enough ambient light to get detail around the gearbox of the car.
