Excellent. Out of interest, I`ve just picked up a digital SLR so was considering taking, purely for the practice of actually using it!  What equipment to you use? |

200mm is plenty of length if you stand on the inside of Druids  |

Depends on the light on the day, but I try and keep it as low as I can get away with to stop the picture getting noisy. As I said in the other post, the inside of Druids is excellent for pictures - you can get them entering the corner (shot at 108mm):

...then move position and get shots midcorner (135mm):

...then move again and get shots of them exiting (135mm):

The biggest pain there (apart from the million other people trying to take pictures) is the sun - try not to shoot into it too much, because you'll just end up with big, dark shadows on the nearer side of the bike. It's better there in the afternoon when the sun has shifted, although it's always a nightmare there when it's a clear day (the ones above are hardly ideal).
If you want to be safe, on your 350D pick ISO 400. If it's sunny I'd go with 200, but not as high as 800 (since you don't have 1/3 stops). More important though is the shutter speed (assuming you'll use shutter priority?). Nothing worse than the 1/2000s speed that some people (and the "sports" mode on the camera) would use - it freezes time itself and give absolutely no sense of speed. If you're starting out with panning (in these positions above) have a go at 1/640s and work down if they look like they're coming out well. When they're coming out spot on at 1/100s then you'll have cracked it! 
I'm aware that I'm rambling now (hey, I'm bored...) so I'll shut up!
Oh, don't forget the rest of the circuit either. You can shoot over some of the fencing around the GP circuit, although I've only been round it once so I'm not the best qualified to talk on the other corners. |
