Victory Lane
I hired on to shoot for a local racetrack a few years back. It was exciting being in the mix, getting to shoot from wherever I desired. The only problem was when the races were over it was dark except for the track lights and I was expected to photograph the winners in the "Winner's Circle." I was not expecting this. A couple of track employees would run out, hold up a sign behind the car and Pop! Pop! Pop! No direction, no second chances. I was given approximately 45 seconds per car/driver. Of course the lighting was terrible and on camera flash was the best that could be done. I did better than most, but I'm not sure I've ever seen "Winner's Circle" photos taken at night that do not suck.
