Rookie needs help...

I just purchased my D700 and I am doing well with portraits, flowers, landscapes, etc.
I will mostly be photographing a race car on local oval tracks, but I want to learn to get creative with the photography to see some motion. I have read parts of some books on this, but I wondered if anyone out there had any advice or tips. Thanks!

the D700 is a great camera, for everything. I would try to a shutter speed around 1/50 of a sec and pan with the cars, that should give you a nice blur background and good tire spin. without a lot of photoshop work. I did some drift racing and was shooting at 1/8 of sec for some of the shots. set your focus to "C" and shoot a lot of shots panning and slow shutter speeds can give some great results but also you toss a lot of images do to blur problems. Good Luck

I don't think I have ever seen the words Rookie and D700 in the same sentence...you don't mess around with the small potatoes I guess...CL Extreme's advice is sound...good luck..
