I have not been on here for a while due to the problems I had trying to create and load posts with photos even though I had no issues with other sites, thought I would try again and hope that previous issues I and others have experienced have been resolved - fingers crossed as I still consider this the best Nikon forum.
I went to Thruxton circuit on Sun to try my hand at photographing motorcycle racing (only tried once before with a non Nikon.......). I took the D500 with the 300mm f4 PF and the 24-120mm but stuck with the 300mm all day.
Limited locations to shoot from to avoid fencing so I decided to grab a couple of shots at the chicane and then moved round to track side so I had a view of a bend and part of the straight so could get some shots of the pack and some panning shots as they came by.
Very hot and sunny which resulted in a lot of heat haze which meant long shots were suffering from the haze from the track and the sun shining towards spectators / photographic locations so a challenge.
This is only a small circuit by many foreign standards but a fast one, alas having limited access to good photo locations makes it more of a challenge.
These are some of the images from the day.
