Hill vs Schumacher 1994

The deciding moment of the 1994 Formula One World Championship at Adelaide, Australia.

By pure luck I just happened to be on the right corner at the right time when this happened.

Even more luckily, I had my camera raised and ready to shoot.

In fact, I'd been taking so many photos that I'd decided to slow down, and so I thought; "I'll wait until I can see two cars in the shot next time."

After I lowered the camera Schumacher's car came flying almost directly towards me - but there was no time to even think about it before it slammed into the barrier.

Afterwards I wasn't even sure I had the shot, or what it would show, until the film was developed.

Scanned from the negative.
