Anyone been to Mid-Ohio and know any good locations to shoot at? Never really shot motorsports and thought I'd give it a try next Friday for practice and qualifying of the race next weekend.

Jun 13, 2010 03:03 | #2 Many good spots from the general admission spectator areas.
Inside of turn 1A, 220mm.
Inside of turn 7, 140mm.
Outside of turn 8, 300mm.
Inside of turn 9, 300mm.
Between turns 9 and 10 at the pedestrian bridge, 275mm.
From the elevated track paddock area, 40mm. It's worth your money to purchase a paddock pass for a Mid-Ohio event, of course.

That's a great lens for MidOhio provided you have decent light. I've seen the official photog shooting with a 70-200 f/2.8, but he can get much closer & shoot through an opening in the fence. Pretty hard to compete with that.. https://photography-on-the.net …?p=8681946&postcount=1961Gear

I've been there many times, but I've only ever shot at the Esses, Thunder Valley, and Madness. I'll have to try some new locations at the upcoming ALMS race! Canon 7d, Canon xsi , Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Canon 17-55 IS f/2.8, Canon 70-200 f/4 L

There is a pedestrian bridge (Honda Bridge) after madness that you can get some awesome shots when you are right next to it.
