\"\"<\/p>\n

Tonight I shot the Gene Romero West Coast Flat Track Series race at Perris Speedway.<\/p>\n

I’ve never shot flat track, and honestly, had never heard of it until a few months ago. But, racing is racing for the most part. And as I’ve told a lot of my friends or photographers I’ve met starting out… you need to be confident enough to walk into a place knowing<\/em> that you’ll make great images.
\nNow, I’ve never shot this sport… but I knew I’d be able to come back with something decent.<\/p>\n

These are just a few quick examples of what I shot tonight. Very lightly edited before sharing them with you guys online. I’ve been experimenting a lot with what shutter speeds I can hand-hold and track at, at various ISO’s and f\/stops. Tonight was expecially interesting because it was, well, night.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overall I’m happy with my images. I have a lot of great motion blur and some really interesting shots overall.<\/p>\n

I would have liked to use my strobe a bit more, however I didn’t feel it was appropriate to blind the riders while they race… and honestly, I’m not sure what the rules stated about using strobes on the track… Maybe next time.<\/p>\n

Anyway, check back later this weekend as I’ll be updating my portfolio with some of my new race stuff.<\/p>\n

Good night everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
