I'm not going to even bother responding to the comments you generally made about it (and me), but I can assure you it is sharp where it needs to be. You look me up when you're out there next to us shoot car racing....and we'll chat more.
Viper in the Dirt
When shooting motorsport, you're always prepared for the unexpected. In this case, I was shooting cars coming past me through the turn 10 corner at a very slow shutter speed on my D3 and 70-200mm lens. My D3s and 500mm lying at my feet.
60mph pitlane speed. So go to the freeway and watch cars passing. It doesnt feel fast for an F1 car, but stand next to one, and it's bloody quick.
No. The cars come in quite fast. And if you catch it right, the pitcrew is still standing frozen waiting for the car to stop. Its just a timing thing. Not a hard shot really. Just worked out well :)
Sorry. I can't give them away. Nothing is free in photography. Gotta pay the bills. It's a fun job, but a job none the less.
The testing is over for the Formula One teams. It's time to head to Melbourne. Make no mistake. F1's spy wars are in full swing following this test. (More on that another day). But for now, the next time the cars hit the track will be for FP1 in Australia.
Are you a car racing fan? If so, what series(') do you follow?
