Ideas #2: Get low

The obvious thing would be to take photos whilst stood up, so generally between 5-6ft. It’s amazing how a shift in perspective can improve a photo though, just by crouching down you can create a completely different photo, or even remove unsightly background distractions. Here are two examples from Druids Bend, Brands Hatch.

 This also applies to the locations you choose around a circuit, generally spectators enjoy the action from banking so they can see as much of the circuit as possible, however as a general rule motorsport shots look better from the lowest angle you can find.

  1. Yout tips and your photos are really fantastic! Please keep it up! I found this through your Flickr stream which I check pretty often. I’m headed to the Montery Historics at Laguna Seca next month and I can’t wait to try some of these.
