The best angle to catch the fast moving car like the formula 1 super cars will be camping over tight corner like a hairpin curve.
Reason for that will be;
There is no way for our semi-pro or prosumer camera to be able to capture it. Especially on a night street race. Try to shoot when cars are just on the mist of picking up it's speed on tight curves.
And also for our Singapore nite race, a good wide angle lens will do the work. Telephoto lens, if you are shooting from Padlock area or VIP Grandstand. Else, there willn't be a chance at all, as many amature photographers and car lovers will be crowding around the frontal view. Also, cages will be put up for safety reason.
I had did some recee on the tracks.
1. VIP and Lockpad sector
2. Pit Stop sector (Prohibit to all unless you are belong to a race team or crew)
3. Test shoot on a Go Kart on the padlock sector (Using 10mm-22mm)
