We went to the local track on the Bank holiday to lose a modest amount of money and, for me, to take a few photos. Well – about 550. First the excuses, as none of the resulting shots would make the grade for stock. It was a little overcast, so the high speed shots I took were all in the ISO 400 to 500 territory. I’d also hoped to take a few snaps somewhere near to one of the jumps, but we were confined to the single enclosure which probably spanned a couple of hundred metres of the flat part of the track.<\/p>\n

Some passable results. First up, some high speed shots. Everything was taken on shutter priority [including the motion blur pictures below]. I don’t think there’s any point in messing around with shooting in RAW when you are going to be firing off a lot of pictures, and then not really make any significant adjustments in post.<\/p>\n

A couple of motion blur shots:<\/p>\n

1\/80 sec at 105mm, ISO 100 at F9<\/p><\/div>\n

The choice of 1\/80 second was an educated guess based on having a couple of attempts at taking shots of cars over the last few years. Not great luck with composition in both of these, but it’s always going to be a lottery with so many subjects in play.<\/p>\n

Bit of a nudge on the saturation and curves [auto contrast]. Finally, and primarily to reinforce the investment in the tablet [!], the obligatory colour popping shot:<\/p>\n
