I was racing at "The Mountain Ring" in Teterow, North Germany last weekend. As some of you may know, i race Grasstrack and Speedway Sidecars http://www.ccraceteam.co.uk
Well, Teterow is in the same league as the Manx TT for the "something you HAVE to do". It's a mile long motorcross course but bikes of all shapes and sizes ride it, sidecars for instance only turn left, have no suspension and no brakes so it's pretty insane to say the least.
Anyway, because i was racing i couldn't take any pictures of The Mountain Ring but on the Saturday night there was a speedway meeting to entertain the 62,000 strong crowd. I took my new camera down to the track to try my hand at action photography. Well, good god it's hard Theses are the better shots that i took. I've played a bit in PS to make them a little more dramatic. There are more here
I took them with a Canon 40D with a Sigma 50-200 f4-5.6 lens.
Settings were:
Shot in: Aperture Priority
Focal Length: 123
FNumber: 6.3
Exposure Time: 1/250
ISO: 1600
If any of you pros would like to tell me what i could change to improve them then i'd be most appreciative.
