Blurred Formula 1 Car Wall Art Print

Description

This blurred Formula 1 car wall art catches the plank striking the ground: a shower of sparks off the underside of the car, thrown against night lighting that the exposure has pulled into long horizontal bands.

Sparks are not a special effect. A modern car runs a wooden plank under the floor with titanium skid blocks set into it, and when the floor touches down at speed those blocks grind and throw white sparks. That is why the effect returned to the sport after years of absence, and why it happens on straights and compressions rather than in corners.

What the blurred Formula 1 car wall art is showing

It is the darkest piece in the collection, which makes it the wrong choice for a dim room and an excellent one for a bright wall where the black holds. Above a dark sofa, in a games room, or as the single frame on a pale chimney breast, where the sparks are the only light in the picture and get to behave like light in the room.

How a still photograph shows speed

Nothing in a frozen frame communicates velocity, so photographers use a long exposure and track the subject, which holds the car and smears everything else. The technique and its history are described at Wikipedia. It is a decision made before the shutter opens, not afterwards.

Hang it with

Three that sit well beside it: Mercedes F1 motion poster, F1 pit stop poster, Ayrton Senna portrait poster, or browse the whole Formula 1 poster collection.
