Can’t get this out of my mind now Ben, lol
Hi all! I'll be heading to Petit Le Mans in less than two weeks and want to try my hand at some golden hour shots with my R50 / RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 lens. I know I'm going to struggle in both golden hour and night shots but how would you recommend setting it up to give myself the best chances at some good shots. I'll be mobile and can head anywhere around the track but this will be my first time at the track with this setup at Petit. I've shot at Road America and VIR so far this season with it and have been able to get some shots that I feel really good about but want to maximize the time and sessions to get some solid shots from my favorite race of the year!
Any help/tips would be a huge help, thank you!!
I had another screen laying around for Covid days and figured I could use it to definitely make my streaming efforts a bit cleaner instead of just using the main screen. I know it’s not the best setup overall but it’s what I can roll with now! Does anyone have a similar screen setup and have any suggestions on how have you set it up for best use? Thank you for any help!
Tried maxing out the 100-400mm lens on my Canon R50 and shot them rolling into the braking zone of the back straight. Added a few others that I liked too!
Thanks @everyone!
Second full weekend with my R50/RF 100-400mm setup. Having an absolute blast learning and trying new things out. As always would love any feedback!
I’ll post up another set taken from my camera setup but took these on my phone yesterday. Have a great race day everyone!
First time working on panning with my R50 and 100-400mm with motorcycles, thought it went surprising well for the limited time with that setup!
Would love any feedback, especially on composition - feel like I’m purely shooting for the bike and blur and hoping for the best for the actual stuff in the background. Do you build a muscle memory of where you start and stop the pan rotation or how do you incorporate that into the mix?
Thanks for looking!
Would anyone be willing to trade a IMSA poster/hero card from Petit Le Mans for a LionSpeed or Grello poster in GTWC Europe or DTM? Would love to get my hands on a signed copy from both here in the US!
Let me know if you can help and we can work out the details! Ty for any help!
I posted a couple of weeks ago that my Mom was going to be bringing some of my Dad’s models to the IMSA race at Road America to start passing the collection to me. Here are the four she brought with your help! Including pictures, majority haven’t even been out of the box with a surprise on one of them! Thank you for the help!
- AutoArt Signature 1/18 Xanavi Nismo GT-R #23 - Super GT 2008
- Spark Ford GT40 #6 Le Mans Winner 1969
- TrueScale 1980 Porsche 935 K3 #71 Le Mans signed by Dick Barbour
- Exoto Chaparral 2E 2 Car set
Shots from T5 during Friday's practice session. Any feedback would be huge, thank you for looking! Shot with a Canon R50 and RF 100-400mm lens
Open to any and all feedback! Felt like I did better with PCC compared to IMSA this weekend, but I'll post some of them up today/tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Second weekend with my new camera setup - Canon R50 w/ the RF 100-400mm lens. This is my first go with a real camera so any feedback is greatly appreciated! Don’t know how but predominantly got left to right panning shots, at VIR I need to prioritize and plan out getting some right to left shots. Out of this lot I really like #9
Strolled through the paddock last night and got an up close shot of the one-off livery, looks nice!!
So my Dad has collected a ton of models anywhere from older Le Mans cars, Can Am, newer GT2/3 and NASCAR models.
I have experience with the 2010+ models from Spark, AutoArt and Minichamps but am lost in this collection. My Mom asked if I’d like any - are there any that jump out at you that balance rarity/value with just a cool model? I can get specifics but just don’t even know where to start!
Thank you for any help!
**putting the written out list in a comment below, sister didn’t know to add manufactures so we’ll have to update it at some point. Thank you all for the kind words, I’ll definitely share the post with my Dad when I see him up at the IMSA weekend at Road America, it’s going to make his day for sure ❤️
Counting down the days to IMSA! Heading up to celebrate my 40th and have two RV spots in section 6. Grew up in Milwaukee and went with my Dad seemed like every weekend and I'm excited to go check out everything that has changed over the years since we've been back. Had a couple logistical questions if you all could help!
• For one of the spots we'll have two vehicles staying the weekend, is that ok based on your experience or are the areas that we can park a vehicle overnight?
• I'll be bringing my Canon R50 w/ a 100-400mm lens, I have a good understanding of the track but where are your top areas to shoot photos from (especially the newer areas)?
• Is the event on Thursday night worth it in downtown Elkhart Lake? How does parking/traffic look? Also, do we have in/out access 24/7 if we're staying on track in case we need to hit up a grocery store or grab some cheese curds and cheese whips? Haha
Thank you all and can't wait to be up there soon!!
Usually they have the session pretty well labeled on the GT World YouTube page but feel like I’m missing the night practice coverage? Am I blind or did they not post it?
Thank you for any help!
