Motorsport / trackday photography

[Nafoff]

who does it on here?
interested

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yep

Depends when though

 

[Feirny]

There's some skilled people on here for this.

 

[Nafoff]

yer i know, just can't remember all there names...would be good to see some posts of work

 

[Bluebeard]

Ukaskew.

Oh, wait....

 

[Feirny]

Depends where you need people mate, for example there's a few northerners on here who wouldn't be able to travel down south etc.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

Yep, will give me a chance to test out the 7d as well. Brands Hatch and Silverstone are my local circuits. I know brands do a lot of track days http://www.clubmsv.com/

[Bazzon]

I do it on probably the cheapest set up on the forum

350D, and the Sigma 70-300mm (non Apo) need new stuff when i graduate.

Plenty on here http://www.flickr.com/photos/30233693@N08/sets/

 

[SharkyUK]

Yeah - done a few here and there mate... I'm no expert, and use fairly basic equipment, but it's something I enjoy.

Sorry - forgot to add a selection as requested...

I'm still a photography-learner and only done Silverstone F1 and Goodwood FoS so not as great as some on here. A few of the ones I've uploaded so far:

 

[Steviant]

I've shot a few cars.

 

[john lloyd]

try rob mcdougall (google him he is the mcr based one that comes us) mark uses him lasy few years for the photographer they use for the fcs he runs the stall and organises the photographt and does some himself and loves his track stuff (has ft job though as well) or maybe riad he is doing more and more of this with good results you know naiths brother. pm him on pot as dont think riad comes on here much but i think his uni course involves this area.

ps picked up the mag yesterday loved the cover and icarus quote, shady buggers in that pic under the street light

 

[Sym0n]

I've done it for the past few years, nearly every circuit in the UK. And worked at FCS for Rob (above) for the past few years, although I won't be in the future.

I've got very few uploaded but a few from Auto Tuner (which was f**king w**k btw).

Planning to get out and about this year, but probably not at the shows.

*waits for Dunganick to spot the thread*

I would love to help out, but i would have to charge (now doing photography as only source of income... while at uni), and as i cant get trackside (as MSV will have sold the day to a trackday photographer) i think the OP would get better photos/value for money by using the trackday photographer or one of the kind guys on here.

If its a Test day then drop me a line as it all changes and i may be there anyway.

For what its worth: http://www.sportstock.co.uk/ (slightly newer site than the one Andy has linked to, although with the same content)

I use a very similar setup, Canon EOS 350D and the Sigma 70-300mm (APO).
I haven't done it much but just do it for fun, i go to the events and might as well take my camera with me.

 

[Justin]

My first attempt when we were over at the Ring. Came out pretty well.. Was using the kit lens..

 

[brownin]

some real good shots in here

 

[Rhod.L15]

Only do Rally photography, mostly in South/Mid Wales with the occasional foray further afield. Going out to Turkey for the WRC round in April, should be epic. Here's a few from 2009:

Couple more on my Flickr here:

[Jungle_Jim]

James

 

[Gaz.]

Only done 'Pod. With a D40 and sigma 55-200

 

[TimR26]

Some talented photographers on here.

 

[Pete.]

Trying to get into this and can appreciate the talent on display here.

Basic set up and little talent can still produce reasonable results

All of the above were taken with Nikon D50 and sigma 70-300mm lens.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

Give them a tinker with in PS and they will look even better mate

original:

tweak

 

[Clart]

I used to, until i had to sell all my gear

 

[Pete.]

I think I will have to buy Photoshop now. Cheers Jim.

 

[Nafoff]

Try using GIMP. I think it'll have the similar capabilities and it's free.

 

[Glos182]

some of those photo's are stunning! I love the ones where the cars have a wheel or 4 off the ground! epic!
Wouldn't mind some of them at a stupid high res, so i can print them professionaly and put some on my wall

What's it for?

I've not done much of it, but was pleased with what i did do at goodwood: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mahoosive/sets/72157620912703636/

 

[Nafoff]

well in the future it could be shooting for magazine features but not 100% sure yet,

we will see

Interesting if a mag is purely trackday based, most magazine features are of the cars involving alot of static shooting aswell as some moving and depending ont he quality/brand of the mag some require certain things like the ability to use lighting etc..

sorry for not sitting on here 24/7 to see which mag you work for

Anyway as per my interesting comment, it would be interesting if its for a new project purely for trackdays as track and race cars is now defunkt, along with others.

Is the trackday photography you are trying to sort for llandow per chance

no worries mate, it wasn't meant nastily, with venom etc, purely sarcastic (i really should rein that in a little)
it has been sorted and is indeed for llandow initially

 

[RyanD]

crikey cutting it close then, not long to go till the D-Day, its 2-3weeks away iirc.

Are FC trying to run alot more features from events rather than the usual location based stuff these days? sorry for being igonorant but I just dont read mags these days, and last I heard was when Ben chandler said that the mag was having a major overhaul
