I'm by no means an expert at shooting racing animals, in fact I tried it only once(!) but I found that my car-shooting technique simply did not work at all at the dog track; I'm guessing that perhaps 1/350th is more appropriate, but then you'll start to lose the background blur.
What sort of speeds do you use Paul?
Look forward to seeing your LUG gallery and thanks for the kind comment.  |
If you were trying to shoot geyhounds I'd start with 1000/1!
As for my horses I range from 500 to 250. Maybe this is where I need to become braver.
