Join us at Sydney Motorsport Park for an adrenaline filled workshop where we capture real bikes at speed and put the latest Sony gear through its paces.
Whether you’re looking to master fast action photography or you’re curious about upgrading your setup, this workshop is designed for both.
We’ll be testing and shooting with the Sony a1 II, exploring how its cutting edge autofocus and speed performance handles high intensity motorsport environments.
What You’ll Learn:
• Best AF tracking settings (Stable vs Standard vs Responsive)
• Dialling in shutter speed for freezing motion or creative motion blur
• Capturing riders approaching at high speed
• Real-time tracking & subject recognition in action
• Panning techniques for dynamic race shots
• Positioning for maximum impact and storytelling
This workshop is perfect if you:
• Are considering upgrading to the latest Sony body
• Want hands on experience before investing
• Want to see how the A1 II performs in a real world racing environment
• Want guidance on pairing the right lenses for motorsport
You’ll see firsthand how the newest Sony technology performs under pressure not in a studio, but on the track.
