Lick the stamp and send it

Motorsport photography presents its own selection of speed-related challenges, but offers rich rewards when you get it right. A fast camera will be of huge benefit, with burst shooting negating the need for superhero-like timing on the shutter button. Elsewhere, autofocus can be beneficial, especially as some cameras can now track vehicles rather than just people. Some photographers prefer to focus on a spot of road and burst shoot as the cars or bikes pass over it - a pretty effective tactic indeed. Aside from making sure you have lenses with enough reach to properly fill the frame, the next consideration will be shutter speed. You're likely to be looking for something that freezes the action in front of you, whilst also providing light blur to help denote sheer speed. It's is all part of mastering this very specific, very rewarding genre of photography!

Option 1 - Canon EOS R5, Canon RF, Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 lens, Gitzo Monopod
Weekend from £155 - hire now!

The Canon EOS R5 is an absolute powerhouse for sports and action photography, especially when you want to be agile and light on your feet. It offers a whopping 45-megapixel, 8-stop image stabilisation, ISO up to 51,200 and a speedy 20 frames per second, meaning that perfect shot will never be out of reach. Image stabilisation provides enhanced freedom to hand-hold, which is incredibly helpful when trying to keep a low profile, and low light capabilities are astonishing – giving you even more of an edge in tricky conditions. Autofocus is blisteringly fast and AF points can be positioned instantly using the touchscreen, making it super-simple to capture your subject exactly where you want to in pin-sharp quality.

Partnering the R5 in this package, the RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 gives you a lovely focal range for wide shots and mid-range zooms, and the Gitzo monopod helps provide a point of stability, as well as giving your muscles a bit of a rest too. Also included, two batteries and a memory card.
