HotRod Hayride Notes
Very likely to be mixed light over the weekend - so do peripheral activities such as shopping, art show, etc. when light poor
Next year arrive Friday a.m. (check about Thurs) - watch cars come in. A lot of cars left after soapbox, good move watching them go.
50D overexposing night images - check settings
Get S90 Powershot?
Take twilight rather than night shots at Pavilion - full night doesn't work so well, but midnight blue and sodium work well in twilight.
Arrived to early at oval, action didn't start 'til after midday, went on 'til after 4-ish. Aim to arrive 11-11.30 (bring beer!).
If light good, get up sat a.m. for photo run, breakfast at Sainsburys before heading to track.
Passing by Sainsburys on way to track, so bring minimum on Thurs Friday.
People watch through viewfinder
Work on standard set of views as per motorshows, check interiors
Check camera mode, and focussing mode.
Zoom images grainy
Should have done more of 'deluxe'. Should have taken more shots generally - used just over half memory space and only one set of batteries.
Get QR monopod, or maybe staff?
Wait. Make each shot count
No decent coffee on site, no beer at oval
Oval car park better photo op than camping fields
Dress appropriately and, if UK or Europe based bring appropriate motor, soapbox racer, or both
