How To Photograph Motorsport – Part 1
Ok, so given this post and my recent activities on here, you might think I’ve jumped ship from the outdoors world to all things combustion engine-based! After all, episodes, #122, #123 and #124 of the podcast were centred around my activities at this year’s Goodwood Festival Of Speed.
Well fear not, my outdoor chums, for I am not about to ditch what I know and love! But as many of you are aware, a multitude of fast-paced action does appear in front of my lens throughout the year.
Today, I want to give you an update – and a link – to my ongoing collaborations with Wex Photographic (you’ll remember that on Friday, I told you about a comprehensive Bag Buyer’s Guide which I’d just written for them).
My latest offering on the Wex Blog is Part 1 of a motorsports photography guide.
One of the greatest and most rewarding challenges for any photographer surely has to be capturing a moving object at considerable speed. Thankfully, you don’t need to travel far and wide or spend lots of money in order to learn how to do this; the techniques can even be practised in and around the comfort of your own home.
Whether it be your pet dog running along the beach at full pace, birds in flight high above a cliff-top or the thrills of a weekend motor race, there are a few key techniques which can be quickly and easily applied to a wide range of subject matter.
Over the course of my four-part series, I’m going to look not just at how you can freeze motorsport action, but also how you can really make the most of a trip to any motorsport event.
So, if you fancy taking on a motorsport photography challenge, but need a little guidance to get the ball rolling, just follow the link below and it’ll take you straight to the article!
Edit: I have now added links to all the other parts in the series, too!
