Mark's Quick Tip Motor Racing Photography tips from my QUICK TIP Database. Now contains even more tips! Most sports photographers shoot in high quality JPEG format instead of RAW or TIFF. The majority of digital cameras operate more quickly when shooting JPEGs, and speed is everything in motor racing photography.

With press passes, trackside shooting positions, massive lenses, super fast digital SLRs .... professional motor racing photographers have NO EXCUSES. They ought to be getting great shots!

But there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get high impact photos with your digital camera from the other side of the fence.

If you're a motor racing fan and have ever gone to a race meeting - whether it was to Monaco for the Grand Prix or to your local circuit - and you're looking for tips and tricks to help you get more exciting shots...this is the place to be!

Whatever problem you have, we can offer advice. Maybe the cars were too far away. Maybe they were moving too fast and came out blurred in your photos. Maybe your shots just didn't have that 'edge' that conveyed the excitement and drama you felt by actually being at the race.

Regardless of whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced photographer there'll be something here for you.
