I haven't been to a downhill race before, but thinking about attending a local event just to take some photos. As most of the action will be in trees and probably backlit, what is the protocol for using a flash. I would assume it is a complete no-no, but have to ask anyway. p.s. the flash would only be used for fill and is not very powerful (canon 270EX).
Alternatively, i find the best lit spot i can and shoot close up with my 17-50 wide open.
Also, i have shot cross country and other races and i know for these 1/500 is ample to stop the action. What minimum shutter speed should i use for bikes hurtling through the woods at me?
Thanks
