[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a part of my Melbourne Grand Prix 2007 theme.

Blonde, beautiful and bright. One in finance, the other training in law. These girls and some of their friends are part time models at events such as this - the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne. The money is good, they build up photographic portfolios, they make good contacts in publishing and they get to meet major stars and get ringside seats at events such as this.

See themselves as exploited? Not a bit of it - they see themselves as the exploiters, taking advantage of men with a weakness for pretty blondes, natural or otherwise! Feminists with beauty and brains - and good luck to them. With their business savvy and natural intelligence I'm sure they'll succeed in whichever career they choose.

Shot in RAW, converted, cropped, resized, sharpened and frame added.

Careful Richard, you'll get our resident feminist riled up!

I love the bright red colors of their outfits, to go along with the red of the racecar and the support behind them. Their blonde hair and bright smiles complete the picture. In a perfect world, maybe a shallower depth of field to throw the background a little more out of focus, but just a minor point.

Well done!

Hi Robert,
What do you think Robert, do I make a change as F1 model? I'm blond too :)
Anyway, hopefully you enjoy also the roaring sound of F1 cars as I do this picture.

Hi Richard,
Nice shot, nice girls, great colour and then I see it's a Toyota not a Ferrari what you doin down there LOL.
Great shot mate as usual, personally I don't find the background distracting as the eye is drawn to the girls and then the soft focus of the background gives you the tour of the garage.

Hi Richard,

You are very lucky to get a chance to interview them, and taking their picture as well.
Lovely model and nicely presented among the technical things of F1.

Tfs,
Tjutjut

next year you'll not need to go so far for such photos richard :P
we'll hav our own F1 race in Singapore :) hope they don't go though with the night race plans though :P much better to be shooting in the day :)

f/4 setting is perfect for this lens, i think thats the sweet spot :) same with my 80-200mm

Hi Richard, Good to see a bit of colour in this photo. Well composed and looking good. Well presented by all three concerned. Murray.

Hello Richard!

In a week from now , I will be with Mario Bélanger at the F! GP in Montreal. Lot of fun ahead . Like you did here (^_^). Difficult to get the attention of both ladies , as you were probably twenty photographers shooting them at the same time !!!!

Nevertheless , a sweet shot . too bad we do not see much of the car (*_^).

Cheers!
Robert

What are they doing? I will explain with a Workshop you will enjoy for it's fantasy...

With the wind the have nice hairs in movement! The red and white is give dynamic lines!
We will have the F1 in Mtl sooner too! :)
