I have noticed that the motorsports section doesnt get very many visitors, maybe lurkers but now one posts! Is anyone out there? I am looking for people who have experience with drag racing shots at night! I shoot for a couple of local organizations, and i would love to know some tips and tricks to help out with them!

Is anyone out there??? Lol, or is every one so busy, for me the season is coming to an end!

I've shot plenty of drag racing shots at night. If you have only one flash and can't get it off the camera, then your choices are few. If you have a really good lighting situation at the track, you might even be able to get away with high ISO and available light. I've never had that luxury.

I have to go to work now, but if you have specific questions, I'll be happy to share what little I know.

Well i was just over in the photo sharing, and didnt see much drag racing photog's over there. I was having problems for a while there, but i think i have gotten it figured out pretty good. i started a thread over there titled "night shots" i think they are the most difficult shots to take of drag racing. You have cars going 150+ and limited lighting.

I'm guilty of just lurking and looking at sweet racing/car pictures on Motorsports Talk...
