Donington Park 26th Feb - Adivce please.

Prophet · 20 Feb 2006 at 22:33

I'm off to Donington Park race track on the 26th to watch and photo my mates. Its a open pit day and quite a few people have signed up to race their cars around.

I'll be taking my 350D and hopefully a Canon F4 300mm borrowed from a friend.

What kind of setting should I use to capture the action? Obvisouly the weather is an important factor but hoping its a sunnyish day, what kind of shutter speeds etc would I need?

I've got 2GB of storage so dont mind snapping away, but want to maximise my chances of getting a some good shots.

I'll have the use of a monopod and a lense hood.

See if you can get the day off

Thanks for the replies

Tom - I'll only probably be taking pics from the pit lane, so mostly I'll be after shots of they coming down the start/finish straight or round the last corner.

I'll try and get to other parts of the track!

I'm not sure what time it all kicks off. I've posted on the other forum to find the answer.

I'll be there from around 10amish. I've not been able to borrow the 300mm so I'm going to use the poverty spec kit lense as best I can

Hope to see some of you there
