Y'ello. So I've been asked to do shots of motorbikes on the move by a guy who used to be my boss where I worked. I can't say I've really done anything like this before and don't know whether or not I should accept, and whether I have suitable gear to do it or not.
I know this guy well and when he says fast, he means FAST!!! I know he's on a gsxr 750and his friends are riding similarly fast bikes and upwards including the 1000 etc.
So I don't even know if I can catch these guys if they're flying past me...HELP! I'd really like to do this if possible as I'm a bike dork and would love to get into this sort of thing more regularly.
My gear is:
Canon 30D
-50mm f1.4
-17-40mm f4
-70-200mm f4
-speedlite, if thats any use
-er and a tripod
I don't know yet how close I will be able to get to them etc, so am a bit concerned about what lens I should be using (though probably not the 17-40mm widey).
Can anyone offer some advice on what setup I should be using and good techniques for this type of photography with regard to aperture, iso etc?
Would be really appreciated, thankyou and please. :blushing:
EDIT: ok just confirmed with the guy the shots will be mostly from close range, but he would like from a distance also.
