My Attempt at panning

<< < (3/4) > >>

RedRobin:


^ This is the moneyshot for me - It captures the mood perfectly  :notworthy:

Nice pics Neil,
I had completely forgotten about the BTCC and gutted that I missed it on Sunday,
Was it a good day?

Some nice shots there. Panning is one of those things that youve just got to practice, and if you dont do it for a while it can take some time to get your arm 'back in'!

Practice practice practice!

scotta:
Set your Camera to Shutter Priority Mode - this wil alter the Apeture to compensate for changing light as you pan.

Set shutter Speed to between 1/120 and 1/60 or if your feeling lucky 1/40.

I usually use ISO of about 400.

Workout how/if your camera has a 3D Tracking AF mode.  

Then just practise mate try get a smooth motion and follow the car.

Here's one of mine from last year!

Exif data
Camera Nikon D300S
Exposure 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture f/25.0
Focal Length 70 mm
Focal Length 71.3 mm
ISO Speed 400

Thats what I'm after, I'll try the settings  :happy2:

I think I rushed into buying a camera, should have gone for a Nikon or Canon EOS.

Here's a tip for anyone thinking of taking up photography, dont buy a camera just because you like the colour (red Lumix G2)  :ashamed:
