No, Jorge Lorenzo didn’t just photobomb Cormac’s photograph of trees. This is the kind of shot that takes planning and preparation.

Trees in the foreground will give Autofocus fits when you want the subject behind them to be nice and sharp. Sometimes telling the lens to ignore objects in the foreground will work, but usually is best to prefocus the lens on where the subject will be, then turn off Autofocus to make the exposure.

However, he did this one, Cormac mixed Brno’s trees with on track action very nicely.
