I was invited by my K-5 shooting friend Gerrit Visser to spectate during "Ferrari Day" at the Canadian Tire Motor Sport Park (aka Mosport) Monday. Gerrit also loaned me his disused DA 55-300 as I don't have any long glass to speak of, besides my DA 50-200.
The Ontario branch of the Ferrari Club of America books the track for the day and members bring their own wheels to test on it. Here's one decent shot I got where a couple of classic cars are entering Moss Corner, the hairpin comprised of turns 5a and 5b. http://www.flickr.com/bruce_m_walker/7587145124/ It's really hard to get an unobstructed sight-line here because of multiple safety fences. We asked a track official if we could get closer. After determining that we'd both signed the If You Get Killed By Flying Car Parts You Can't Sue Us waiver, he said sure. "Just be on your toes because that's a strike zone." I was able to shoot through the closest chain link fence with the DA 55-300mm to get some nice low angles like this one. This is uncropped, btw. K20D, DA 55-300/4-5.8, 300mm, f11, 1/160th, ISO 200.
