Lorenzo…

Jorge Lorenzo, 2010 World MotoGP Champion, signing autographs in 2008.Nice light, a nice smile. Euipment on loan from Canon. Hardware: EOS 1DMkIII, EF 14mmExposure: ISO400, 1/800s @ f/3.5Post: Sharpening.

Hardware: Olympus E-P1, 17mm f/2.8 Exposure: ISO200, 1/250s @ f/2.8 Post: Crop, sharpening, increase contrast.
