F1i's Top Shots of 2018 from XPB's Laurent Charniaux

Hungaroring - Come rain or shine

Whatever the weather, light is often a photographer's greatest ally, and Laurent Charniaux just loves a good contrast, as depicted here in this shot of Daniel Ricciardo at a wet Hungaroring.

"Light, and the way one can exploit it through the use of contrast, can provide a shot with a specific texture or vibrancy, and help enhance a defining element in a photo, like here in the form of the Red Bull's rooster tail.

"Balancing it all takes experience however, and it also requires some 'feel' and the inevitable tweak of editing."
