Tips for moving car shots?

(1/3) > >>

GlennD:
Anyone got any more tips as I do want to get better at this.  :notworthy:

Best one imo that I have done so far.  :wink:

andrewparker:
Move the camera with the car. A wider aperture will result in a blurred background with your subject (the car hopefully) in focus.

andrewparker:
I'd also suggest getting tight on your subject. Where your photo falls down is the superfluous surroundings. Of course you can crop in post-processing, but I think it's better to get it 90% there in camera.

scotta:
Firstly What camera are you using?

Secondly read this http://www.avforums.com/forums/digital-photography/691137-had-bash-motorsport-photography-guide.html

Shutter Speed is more important than aperture settings - Example



The above was taken with the following settings.

Exposure 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture f/25.0
Focal Length 71.3 mm
ISO Speed 400

Using Shutter priority mode and hard setting the shutter speed will allow the camera to adjust the aperture for changing light when you pan.

GlennD:
Thanks, I knew it would something like that.

Its a D3000 but I've just got the 55m lens really need to get the 70-200m for things like this.

Cheers!   :drinking:
