Motorsport / Panning Workshop - Planning Information
The objective of this post is to inform anybody interested in motorsport photography and mastering the panning technique that we are in the process of planning a photography workshop at Killarney, Cape Town for learning and practicing the photographing / panning of fast cars and motorcycles around the race track.

The Motorsport and Panning Workshop will be facilitated in conjunction with Steve Williams, experienced Canon photographer for Motorsport South Africa and Jacques Myburgh, experienced Nikon photographer and photography workshop facilitator.

The aim of the workshop is to provide the developing Canon and Nikon photographer with hands-on learning opportunities for mastering the challenges of photographing / panning fast race cars and motor cycles around the Killarney circuit with specific reference to:
  • Exposure settings
  • Focus tracking
  • Multiple exposures

Required Equipment
Any Canon or Nikon APS-C or Full-Frame DSLR with a lens in the following focal length range: i.e: 18-135mm / 24-105mm / 70-200mm / 70-300mm / 100 – 400mm. Different lenses could be required for stationary cars / motorbikes, relatively close-up panning and far-out action shots. More information about our specific track positioning will be made available later.

Learning / Application
The workshop will start with a theoretical session on the challenges of motorsport photography, camera / exposure settings followed by extensive hands-on practice of the various photographic (and panning) techniques at Killarney in racing conditions, capturing fast action at different shutter speeds.

Confirmation of date(s), costing and detailed learning agenda will be made available as soon as possible.

Discounted rates for any returning Vernon Chalmers Photography clients/ delegates will apply. Discount % will vary from my standard discount policy as this workshop will be structured and facilitated substantially different from other Vernon Chalmers Photography Workshop or Private Photography Training.

Interested photographers are welcome to contact me here or via Facebook.
