That is a real bitch to get a proper exposure on the photo finish camera. You have to put in about three neutral density filters to balance the exposure between the brightly lit rail and the dark midstretch. One cloud comes along during the race and you have to tear them out quickly or you get a disastrous photo.

Now that you bring it up, I'll have to pay more attention to that. There have been times that I've noticed an almost subliminal "shading" during the televised running that has me surprised when a move is made at that point.
