The racing season in the northeast is just getting started and the drivers and crews needed some practice. So did I. So I took my A1 out to a storied local track to get some footage and see how the Canon would handle the action.

The pit action was shot at 1/60 on auto aperture. I was playing with moves and not paying too much attention to critical focus, which came up soft more often than not.

The track footage was all manual. Most was 1/500 but I tried some as high as 1/2000 to see what would happen. I needed to blur out the chain link when possible so I tried to keep the iris open as wide as I could, which created challenges for focus. Turns out the best solution would be shooting around the fence, but that wasn't possible.

NOTE: I have updated the video with a new one that improves the slo-mo shot.
