Tonight I tried my hand at dirt track racing. I have a friend who has a friend who races pure stock cars on a dirt track. The owner of the track allowed me to shoot as long as it was not for profit so I would not interfere with already hired Professional. I also spoke with the hired professional who seemed stand offish at first, but then realized he was new once too. He showed me some points to stand and gave me some tips on how to shoot and what to look for. After some time and lots of pictures he asks me if I caught a shot of the wreck. Mind you the wreck was on the other side of the track, so I admitted I had missed the wreck. "Rule number one about race photography, also catch the wrecks." I couldn't help but respond with "I will work on that." Haha.
Anyway, I will post some of my shots after I review them, but I would like to see what you guys got and some tips on what you did to get your prize shot.
Thanks.
