Wow aren't the tickets for turn 2 around $1.3k? :bigeyes:
Have you all seen the Canon F1 Photo Exhitbition by F1 photographer Paul-Henri Cahier along Orchard Road recently?
Even with his 1Ds MkIII and pro lenses, still motion capture with enough lighting is damn hard. Alot of his shots were blur, especially the panning ones.
I guess it's ALOT of skill and luck shooting the F1 in Singapore as the space is a real constraint.

He shot with a canon leh... Hahahahaha.... ;p
Jokes aside, he most prob wasnt going for those standard 'sharp' pics. Else, he would just be like the rest of us.

I noticed 2 things about the pros:
1) They like to use long shutter speeds (1/8 or even slower) to get the strong effect of motion blur.
2) They use prime lenses only.

He probably should have used a 1DsmkII without the AF problem.

So you can also use prime such as 35mm or 50mm for the F1? Frm your exif it shows as 50mm?This is taken with a Zeiss ZF 35mm:
Initially they restrict to 300mm but was lifted after much hoohaas.
BTW I bought in my 500mm with a hugh tripod. Funny thing is the security at the checkin says I can bring in my tripod but cannot use. :dunno:
This year I watching it on TV only. Have fun.

Just asking, if I only have a 18-55 and 50mm lenses...
Based on what has been mentioned above, to leave the latter at home, will 18-55 be sufficient?
I just started out, so only have these 2 lenses.
Will be sitting at Connaught grandstand, first few rows.
Can someone advise me, if possible, what are the settings I should set for my cam?
I doubt I can really put Manual, so what are the mode you will recommend?
(I have yet to go for my basic photog course, just bought my dslr but going to attend one soon! So I am totally green now!)
Thanks alot! Your help is much appreciated! ^__^

Any lens can do but it's a matter of how big an F1 car you'd like to see in your photo so I suggest since you are sittin @ 1st few row get as close to the track as possible and DO WEAR EARPLUGS
Since you hv only 2 lenses bring all:bsmilie:. I'm also bringing 4-5 lenses to see whic one works best. Hey, it's only once a year (mayb the only time cos I can buy a f2.8 lens with this $) so weight is nothing compared to a missed opportunity.
As for settin, Boost your ISO to as high as you r comfortable like 1600:bigeyes: & I'l probably try with S mode to get the fast SS, depending on the angle you shoot so anything from 1/160 or faster should do. I'l also shoot in RAW so can tweak Exposure if too dark. Anyway you have 60+ laps to try so go for it. Good luck:devil:

IMHO, you'll need to shoot at between f2.8 and f4 to eliminate the fence, depending on your distance to the fence. Shutter speed, use 1/500 if you can, minimum 1/350.
Leave all you slow lenses at home, seriously, don't bother. My first GP with somewhat decent gear, and I can tell you it's tough, yet somehow still satisfying.
You can also try the more artistic shots like Cahier and Heath, but that is even tougher I tell you. You don't need fast lenses though for that.

If you can find one, why not? It's a very nice lens.
Somewhat heavy, but when you look at the pics, and realise you couldn't get these results with slow lenses, you feel happy.
