    Vintage Racing

    Here are some of the car shots. It's nice to do my own thing at the track.
    Here is my conundrum, I shot at 100 ISO 320 SS shows wheel blur which means higher F stop, where is the happy medium? I did what I could. It was a very bright and sunny day!
    Good or Bad feedback is how I learn to shoot better.

    They look good to me Jimmy. I normally shoot at 1000 iso 800 shutter and adjust the aperature to get the exposure where I want it which is normally 1 step over center on the exposure meter.
    Most Canon lenses are factory set to get the sharpest exposure between F9 and F11 depending on the lens. You really need to experiment and see which f stop your lens gets the sharpest photos.
    Another method that many pros use is to send the body and lens in together and have Canon adjust them to get the sharpest photos at a specific f stop. I know one who has all his gear set to f2.8.
