A Few Motorsports Photos

Post by logan2z » Fri Sep 21, 2018 6:29 pm

A friend of mine talked me into attending an IMSA race at Laguna Seca Raceway a couple of weeks ago. That's not my favorite form of racing but I thought it would be fun to try and take a few photos at a motorsports event since I rarely do that.

A fully manual film camera isn't really the best tool for the job, but I thought I'd share a handful of photos anyway...

Nice! What do you use for metering?

This is a pretty contrast-y scene, and you nailed the exposure!

Thanks! I typically use a Seikonic 308S hand-held meter. In this case I had to guesstimate since I couldn't get close enough to meter the area in shadow (there's a rope immediately in front of where I'm standing).

The high-res TIFF actually looks quite a bit better than this lower-res JPG. I'm going to hopefully get around to making a darkroom print of it shortly.
