Logistics – Brabham BT52 Assembly #2 – Long Beach Grand Prix 1983

This is a second BT52 chassis under construction. Note the different wing and chassis graphics.  More suspension parts and a stack of rear wings have been unpacked.   The previous image was one of the few I shot on Kodachrome, this picture is on Ektachrome slide film.  The two photographs were shot at different times of day and the 5000˚K daylight coming from the open garage door behind me affects the color balance.  The Kodachrome 64 was a lower ASA film necessitating a slow shutter speed and wider lens aperture.  The Ektachrome 400 was faster and enabled a higher shutter speed and smaller aperture that resulted in stopped action and greater depth of field.
