Hello, so here we are, I've been chosen to be a Racing Team photographer during the 24h of nurburgring Racing event. I really want to come with great photos for the team and for myself.
so here's my equipement
Nikon D80 with standard Nikon Lenses (18/55 VR and 55/200 VR, standard nikon) and a tripod.
The race will begin Saturday, and will last for 24 hours.
So here's my "pre-plan"
- Get there as early as possible to catch the general mood, cars prep, people excitement etc... Also I plan to be around during the cars line up -200+ cars-
- Then probably wander abit around the pitlane
- then I guess I want some action shots so I'll spend the afternoon around the track (lots of photo spots) until the light goes away.
- I'll probably spend the night in the pitlane, I might be focusing on people photography there and a few action shots (refueling, tire changing etc...)
- I'll stick there until the end of the race
So I need some advice here, this is my very first time and I know I don't have the ideal equipement for (easy) night photography. I'm very excited about it but I would like to have other people's advice and shared experience.
how would you do it ?
if I want to get nice action shots during the night, there'll be plenty of light I guess, but probably no ideal lighting.
should I go for higher isos, work with the tripod mixed with mid-isos and medium sutter speeds.
I'm not very good in night photography but there will be some nice shots to be taken and I don't want to miss any.
so I'll take any advice on this
thank you !
