I had a bit of a nightmare to say the least. Looking back at some of the settings used on shots I don't know what the hell I was thinking. :nuts: I seemed to lose it and I think I was trying to "grab" too many shots rather than think about what I was shooting. :bang:
Any hits or tips appreciated but I think the biggest will be - stop, breathe and think about the shot.
Was using a 1DMK2 with hired 70-200 f2.8 IS II.
I really did struggle with getting a focus lock as well. I set the camera to use a single AF point but seems I just could not paint the target with it. Found it very difficult to hold steady.
I've since realised there are a few custom functions on the 1D that may have helped a bit. AI Servo speed and the ability to expand the single AF point to either side of the point.
Anyway! A few shots... Unfortunately no F1 as it was near impossible to take from the grandstand or find a free vantage point during the race.
