Photo Tips
  • 1. Hairpin Turn "Senna Curve"

    • Best time to shoot: Morning or late afternoon for softer light.
    • Photography Tips: Capture the speed and excitement by using a fast shutter speed (1/1000s or faster) to freeze the motion of the cars. Experiment with different angles to highlight the dynamic curves of the hairpin turn.
  • 2. Start/Finish Straight

    • Best time to shoot: During the race, when the cars are speeding down the straight.
    • Photography Tips: Use a slower shutter speed (around 1/60s) to create motion blur and convey a sense of speed. Play with different compositions to include the grandstands or the pit lane as background elements.
  • 3. Pit Lane

    • Best time to shoot: When teams are actively working in the pits.
    • Photography Tips: Capture the intensity of the pit stops by using a wide aperture (f/2. 8 or wider) to blur the background and focus on the mechanics and team members. Look for interesting interactions or emotions to tell a compelling story.
  • 4. Paddocks and Garages

    • Best time to shoot: Early morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds.
    • Photography Tips: Take advantage of the quieter moments to capture the details and behind-the-scenes activities. Use a telephoto lens to shoot candid portraits and focus on the mechanics at work or drivers preparing for the race.
  • 5. Spectator Areas

    • Best time to shoot: During the race, when spectators are cheering.
    • Photography Tips: Blend in with the atmosphere and capture the energy of the spectators. Use a wide-angle lens to show the vastness of the crowd and a fast shutter speed to freeze any exciting moments. Experiment with different angles and perspectives to add variety to your shots.
