monster trucks and motorbikes

[dalex]

Going to see a monster truck and motorcycle display ,hopefully the weather holds up,
I dont usually shoot anything moving faster than the kids ,so looking for tips really
Shooting a sony a300 with either a 35-105 or a 70-210 depending on how far away we are ,assuming the roped off area is about football pitch size ,
do i just set to shutter speed priority ,what shutter speed ?and autofocus to constant ,small or large aperture ?
more questions than answers so any help would be appreciated to get at least one printable photo from the show

thanks
Dave

Keep it on shutter priority and keep the speed up, for me its more important to get a sharp image
than thinking about DOF. I used continuous shoot and waited until it i thought it was going to
make the leap, i got a few but these are about the best....

Monster trucks are cool . You should be able to get a really good sequence of these!
