How 'bout some Superbikes

[Oren]

Taken by pros or not, I prefer Itheone's second picture rather than these.

This was my first time shooting at a race, I get the appeal of slower shutter speed, and I'll probably try it next time. This time I just wanted some cool photos of the bikes and I'm happy with what I got.


I'm not sure about all the backside photos from Jefferson, I prefer the front or side view myself.

Itheone, what camera and lens did you use for these? And what was the distance between you and the bikes (rough estimation)?

[Itheone]

Hi Oren


I use Canon 40D with 100-400L, I was shooting from the spectator areas, probably 100-200 feet from the track.

[Oren]

And the focal length you used the most was like... 100, 200, 300, 400mm?

[Itheone]

Love the versatility of the 100-400, you are never stuck at one focal length But most of them were taken at 400.

That's very encouraging, since I have the same camera, and that lens will likely be my next major purchase. Very crisp and sharp shots. What shutter speed WERE you actually using? I am curious, since there is probably an optimum range. Too fast, no motion blur, but too slow and it's ALL a blur. I'm looking for a ballpark. I may beat Barber for their races next month, and I'd like to have a baseline. []
