New Zealand WRC

[WRCfan]

Am headed for my home round of the WRC in a couple of weeks and it's the first time to photograph rallying with a SLR. Will be taking my 50D + 70-200 f2.8 with me as well as a 17-85 f5.6 lens.

I have experience with drifting although the difference is the track is smooth so panning is nice and easy. Rallying has undulating road surfaces so wondering whether 1/125 and up is the ideal shutter speed to run, 1/60 is fine as long as the road is smooth although cutting and bumps mean the keeper rate would go way down I am expecting.

I know there are a few experts on the forum from the many fantastic shots I have seen so any little hints and tips would be awesome. In regards to safety advise I am fine, spectated for 16 years at the event, really just wanting to hit the ground running to try and minimise setting problems by having a bit of a head start for setting up the camera.

Any advise is much appreciated.


Kind regards

Depending upon your movements on the Friday, come along to the Auckland Domain prior to the start of the Super Special Stage.

My two youngest (twins) are in the Rally NZ Trolley Derby prior to the stage. First derby race is 5:30pm

I look forward to hopefully catching up at some stage of the rally.

Cheers

Will be there as early as possible depending on how traffic from the stages is and possibly the service before then.

Will be good to meet up with some fellow forum dwellers!
