As I work through several gigabytes of images from Sebring I'll post some of the images here, moderators permitting.
Sebring is unique in American racing, historically and currently. It's likely still the best track for allowing spectators to view the action closely from so many different places on the track. With a decent camera, persistence and a little luck, good images can be had without the aid of a photographers press pass. One of my favorite spots is turn 7, a right hand chicane approached from 6th gear speed, and, in late afternoon, complicated by having to drive directly into the setting sun.

Same body, 20D. I use a 300mm F4 IS USM for the longer stuff. I also have a 2x extender, but it takes away all of the auto focus. I have an 85mm 1.8 that I used in turn 16 that worked well.
Are you playing with the ISO in lower light situations? I pan like crazy, but if the shutter speeds lower than what I feel I can use to get a shot, I bump the ISO up to as much as 800 will negligable noise allowing me to use faster shutter speeds. I had the body set to shutter priority, and let the camera select the aperature based on the metering. This year I stuck with shutter speeds between 1/125/s - 1/320/s. This seems to be a good working range. The pit shots I took with no flash. I just increased the ISO again and had the aperature opened up to 2.0 on a 50mm lense. Good stuff. Going next year? |
