I got put on the list to shoot from the infield at the King of America USMTS dirt modified race. One of the features of this type of race is the 4 wide parade lap, the salute to the fans. A great photo op, but challenging. First, it is hard to get all the cars in the frame and second it s hard to light all 30 of them at once. All the photogs were talking about where to shoot. I can light the first few rows with flash but I need track lighting to light the rest. Also, you need high ground and I think it is interesting to have them at least partially in a curve.Between races I strolled to the top of turn 1 and it was obviously the right place. I waited until the last moment to get up ther and got this shot. A lot of cleanup was necessary, as I had to shoot at ISO 2500 on the 60D. More at SpiveyPhoto.com
