Motor Racing Photography

Written By Yunus Chamda

It’s been a very long time since I visited the place of my boyhood adventures… the Kyalami Raceway north of Johannesburg. It was also an ideal opportunity to shoot some action sports with my Nikon D850 and D500. Using mostly the 200-500 f/5.6 Nikkor and occasionally the 70-200 f/2.8 Nikkor, I was able to rattle of a few images. The budget priced 200-500 proved to be a very capable lens.
