cool pics mate! how long do you spend trackside to get pics?

How do you mean? I was there 9am - 4pm today, I usually just wander around the circuit and find a few good spots during the day, then I probably spend half the time taking pics and half the time watching properly. I only went to two places at Thruxton today, the Chicane first thing but then it got really really busy, so I walked around to the Complex and spent the rest of the day there.

Still got my trusty Nikon D50 (40,000 shutters and counting, it's getting old!), use my equally trusty second-hand Nikon 80-200 2.8 AF-S which I love to bits despite being far too short for motorsport.

It all better last at least another couple of years as we've just bought a house and are now officially in super-debt!

I see Matt Neal signed for VXR straight after, not really a surprise after letting the two Vectras past and blocking Plato, c**k!

My mates went and said it was good. Apparently they saw a nice formula 3 crash and also something crash onto its roof?

Awesome pics! do you tend to shoot in shutter priority when shooting cars at the track? I find that works well, however I saw an article in a magazine saying that for panning shots you should use aperture priority at around f14/15 depending on how much ambient light there is.

Thanks

Shutter Priority 100% of the time, to be honest I don't know why the article would say Aperture Priority as I can't really see any logical reason for it, the one thing you always want control of is shutter speed.
