Race Cars – Summit Point, WV

I have a date with the dental chair today, so I cannot stay long online. There were some orders that I needed to place, and this event was just adjacent to them, so here you go! Some race cars on the track at Summit Point Raceway. Periodically, I take photos when at the track to see family or friends racing. The assignment is similar to ballroom dancing – lots of skill, action, and color – perfect for dynamic photos!

Photo Technique

On this occasion, I practice the technique for panning the camera. At this time, the sun was very bright at the track. So I could have used the fastest shutter speed to capture the cars on the track. However, this would result in photos that would just look like cars parked on the track. For example, if you take a photo with a very fast shutter speed, the tires and the background would be completed sharp. If you lower the shutter speed, and pan the camera as the cars go by, you can add some sense of motion to the photos. Let me know what you think about these -enjoy!
