I was not really trying to spend a large amount of time or effort in capture these images as I was not being paid to do so. I captured them all from outside of the event as I had 20 bucks on me where they where charging 10 or 12 to get in. My motorcycle was on empty and I had to eat some lunch so these angles/photographic positions where the ones that I had.





Most of the shots where captured with Manual exposure, 1/2000 shutter speed, B&W polarizer filter used, AV 3.2, ISO 800, 70-200 non IS at approx 120mm. Moved it to center focus as I tried all the points selected where it did not give me the best results.





I had my 40D with me but swapped it out for the 5DII as the image quality with color, contrast and noise was better in my opinion with the 5D. As far as tracking any subjects coming or going whether its coming directly at me or passing in front of me I would feel confident that I could capture it with a 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 5D or a 5DII with the less then high tech focus systems.
