Is anyone from DPC going to be at California Speedway this weekend??? Or... Does anyone have any good advice for shooting some good pics as a spectator?? I know the basics, but if anyone out there specializes in racing photography I would love to get any tips.

They go fast, It can be hard to get close up shots while they are at speed. But if you time it right you can catch them in frame.

Seems like the perfect opportunity to practice your panning skills.

I hope you took a raincoat or umbrella. Long day and night for anyone actually at this race.

It was a very long night. And I'll be there this morning as well.

I can imagine. It was past 1AM here when they finally postponed it, Nascar should have called it earlier. Not sure the Majority of their fan base which is in the Eastern Time Zone is going to be happy about waiting up til 2AM and have them come on and say it was postponed. Now most of them will be going to work today very tired and will not get to watch the race live.

Post some pics when you get back.
