Getting Ready for the New Season....

It is still winter, but I am looking forward to the upcoming season.
I am adding new features to my motorsports photography coverage starting with this blog.  In as much as this is my first blog, I am still developing how to work it into my workflow.  I will post some of my best shots here, but be sure to visit my web site, www.KingMotorsportPhotography.com as I will be posting all my work there.


I have added a brand new Canon 7D to go with my XTi to allow for double fisted shooting.  I cant wait to start clicking off shots at 7 frames per second!!!!


I am currently making plans to make the annual trek to Sebring for the 12 Hour www.sebringraceway.com. This event is my unofficial start to the racing season.It is a 72 hour immersion in the spectacle that is motorsports.


This year I will be renting some "pro-glass" from my friends at www.LensProTogo.com.  Last year I got some great shots with my 70-200 f/4.  But this year I will be shooting with either a 300 f/2.8 or a 400 f/2.8 with  1.4x and 2x tele-converters.  This should get me right in the cockpits with the drivers.  I can't wait  :-)!
