Default So who's going to Laguna for MotoGP?

I'll definitely be there spectating. Maybe take a few photos. Can't wait!

If you don't have photo creds and you stand 6 feet tall and under, remember to bring a small step stool. The fencing in most places is just high enough to get in the way of your panning/shooting.

A good pair of walking shoes/boots work well if you are going to be hiking up to the corkscrew and around the track.

Thursday is the day to go to get autographs and shots of the racers walking around the paddock. We are spoiled at Laguna. The fans at the European rounds don't even have anything close to the kind of access to them that we do here and they pay 2-3 times for their tickets.

LOL! Not trying to be a smart ass by any means, but you've just described almost every other photog out there!

Looking forward to seeing your shots. Who were you shooting for? One of the local papers?

I had a great time during the MotoGP weekend and decided to spectate more than take photos.

It went by much too fast...

Lol, I know

I work with CityBike out of San Fran. I am still sorting images and will be for the next two days or so when I clear up some time. Long, exhausting weekend.
