motorsport

I am interested to know how everyone carries their motorsport photography gear at the track? I flip between a rucksack/a shoulder bag/a vest and belt depending on how bad my back is, with two bodies hung off a leather harness that my wife bought me from Estonia. I always carry too much gear...

Curious to know if anyone with a Canon 60/70D (it may even have options on the 80D) has changed the setting for autofocus and tracking in the custom menus in order to get better focus/tracking for motorsport? Things like tracking sensitivity, Accel/Decel tracking, AI servo first and second...

2022 was an odd year for me as I got to the point where I really lost my motivation when it came to my motorsport photography. I only went to four events in the end and thought a good proportion of what I shot was trash. Oddly enough, over Christmas I decided to go back through what I had shot...

Interested to hear how those of you that shoot at the track with big, heavy lenses carry your gear. I've gone through a lot of options over the years, but I'm currently using: A double leather camera harness A lowepro vest and belt I hang lens cases off the vest/belt and chuck the body with...

Donington Park - No LImits Racing

Simple question really. How do you carry your kit at the circuit and what is in your bag? Whenever I go to a track, I always think I have taken too much kit with me. At the moment, I take: A Canon 70D A Canon 60D A Canon 15-85 A Tamron 70-300 (nice lens, but can produce blurry images at wide...

Anyone going to Donington for the start of the MSV season tomorrow?

The MSV circuits have now published their 2019 calendars, which can be found here: https://shop.msv.com/Calendar Sadly, they don't seem to be publishing an ICS file this year so you can add it to your calendar app. I find the google calendars available from Pat on...

Like many motorsport photographers, I am finding that I return from an event - particularly the major events, like this weekend gone's WEC - with literally thousands of images. I don't seem to be getting the culling bit of my workflow correct, as I always seem to end up with too many images...

I am thinking of buying a new used second body (probably a 60D) to replace my ageing 400D alongside my main body which is a 70D. I was wondering how everyone organises and carries their kit whilst at the track? Since graduating to the Tamron 150 to 600, my old strategy of having a double...

Greetings all. I am looking for some help to improve my motorsport shots and I was wondering if you would be willing to give me the benefit of your collective experience. Firstly - focus. I am finding that I have quite a narrow plane of focus in my motorsport images - either the front or...

Hi guys, Little background before you go into it. I'm an aspiring automotive & motorsport freelance photographer, I've created a website but would really like some people to give their opinions on it. I only have Wix free hosting at the moment as I don't want to waste the money to host some...

Hey everyone, this is more business-minded than anything but you may be able to help me. Before people tell me, yes I know the easiest way to find this out is asking the vendors themselves but this thought has only just come to me, so here goes. We've all seen the stalls at Motorsport events...

Anyone on here shooting DRIFT ? :naughty:

Hi all, During my spare time this year I've been writing a guide to shooting motorsport at Silverstone as a spectator - I saw something years ago for Oulton Park written by Matt Sayle - so I've tried to put something similar together for Silverstone. It's really aimed at new photographers and...

Hey all, I've had a few requests to put together an updated guide to the Photoshop techniques I use to 'Shop' the occasional motorsport image. It's in a semi draft form at the minute so I was just hoping some of you might like to take a look and tell me what you think and if anything isn't...
