Karl Zemlin - Panning vs Stop Action

  • Focus On Studio 1123 3rd Ave SW Carmel, IN (map)

Join us for an evening with our own Karl Zemlin!

Capturing Speed is a lecture and demo led by veteran IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway photographer Karl Zemlin. Karl has spent years shooting some of the fastest machines on the planet, including 10 runnings of the Indianapolis 500. In this session, he’ll break down how photographers use shutter speeds, filters, lenses, and shooting choices to make motion feel fast. Along the way, Karl shares real trackside experiences, practical tips, and the creative thinking behind capturing both silky motion blur and split‑second freeze frames. It’s an inside look at how a seasoned racing photographer turns raw speed into dynamic, high‑energy images.
