[QUOTE="mauckcg, post: 343379, member: 13944"] Never mentioned Bokeh. After about f11 diffraction from the aperture blades starts to become an issue, f9 and below works great and gives you nice sharp images. Bokeh doesn't matter for a moving vehicle, and even if you freeze the car with a high shutter speed, bokeh won't matter all that much anyway thanks to heat haze and general crappy air quality at a track. Never mentioned mudders, I said road courses. Even for vintage races, 1/160 works great, although some prewar cars really can't get up enough speed and then you have to start to get creative with your settings. For modern GT/Prototype cars, the stuff i like to shoot, 1/320 to 1/160 works great depending on how close i can get to the cars on track. A CPL is not mandatory, it's an opinion, just like my preference for 1/320 and 1/250 at Sebring, and 1/250 and 1/160 at Mid Ohio is my opinion. You don't have to have that CPL to get great results. Your location at the track and watching the sun are more important to get great results. [/QUOTE]
