Over the last year or so, i've been slowly teaching my Nephew (Harry) to take Motorsport photos. He's completely car-mad and kept asking if he could have a go with one of my cameras so i let him loose with my old 1DMKIIN and more recently, the 7D...
1. From last year's Oulton Park Gold Cup..

2. Last year's Dukeries Rally and his first taste of WRC Cars. The look on his face was priceless!

I haven't gone into any depth about settings and the like just yet as i want him to get the hang of framing shots first...which it appears he has done!. So this year i'll be teaching him the joys of shutter speeds, aperture settings & ISO values rather than just setting the camera at 1/320th, f8 + Auto ISO for him.
We have the BTCC meetings at Oulton Park & Croft coming up, so i shall ensure he doesn't waste his time taking pictures of Grid Girls, because that's my job!
