Introduction
Every weekend of the year, at hundreds of locations around North America, people gather to race motorized vehicles of every description. From stock cars to motorcycles, from open wheel cars to power boats, motor racing is a grand spectacle of speed and power. The bright colours, the blazing speed and the unique environment make motor races an exciting place to create memorable images. The skills you need to capture effective images of motor racing are very unique, however, and it's hard to find "How To" books on this subject!
Over the last several years, I have been taking photographs at theMolson Indy Toronto. The race is one of the events in theCART FedEx Championship Series, one of North America's premier motor racing series. I have prepared this article to share the lessons I have learned about photographing racing.
