CANON PRO
NAME: ROB GRAY
CAMERA: CANON EOS R3 & R5
ROB STARTED his photography journey in 2013, picking up an entry-level Canon EOS 550D as a way to shoot his big hobby at motorsport events. He's since turned his passion into a pro career, graduating from shooting the UK domestic racing scene to jetting off to Moto GP races all over the world, as well as running his online Speed of Light Academy. www.speedoflightacademy.com
APPRENTICE
NAME: PHIL PERRY
CAMERA: CANON EOS R5
PHIL IS a healthcare relationship manager with a high street bank. In his spare time, he loves to photograph motorsports and has recently upgraded to a Canon EOS R5. He wrote to us asking whether we could help him get the most out his new Canon camera, so we paired him up with pro racing photographer Rob at Donington Park Circuit to take some fast and furious motorbike photos.
HOT SHOT #1
Lens Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS II
Exposure USM 1/250 sec, f/3.5, ISO100
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Rob set up Phil's EOS R5 so it was ready for action
MANUAL MODE
TO BEGIN, Rob set Phil's Canon EOS R5 to its Manual mode so that he could take full control of exposures. The first setup was all about using fast shutter speeds to make sure the riders were pin sharp in shot, so he set a shutter speed of 1/500 sec and an aperture of f/4 to let in loads of light. He also switched on Auto ISO, so there was one less exposure setting to worry about, enabled Raw image quality, and turned on the fastest burst rate mode, too.
