A great article on shooting vehicles can be found at - http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Classroom:_Moving_Vehicles (http://www.morguefile.com/docs/Classroom:_Moving_Vehicles) found it the other day when hunting for something like this. It's a great article and well worth a read!

Excellent article but more for those with 'proper' cameras rather than digital compacts!

Hi Robin,
Yes agree - but you'll be surprised with what you can do with your new camera set either in manual or shutter (AV) priority mode combined with a manual ISO setting :wink:
I'm lucky enough to do quite a bit of commercial photography so have a decent DSLR kit (EOS 40D/5D) plus a while range of lenses. Am going to make the effort to get some MKV's shot on location somewhere over the summer.

I haven't explored it all yet but my Fuji F200EXR seems to offer AE (aperture) priority or Manual (both shutter and aperture) but not just shutter priority which is what I want.
-
Yes,
Have just read a review on the web - the one mode you could do with form motion photography just isn't there - real shame. Looks like a really nice compact from the reviews I have been reading though.
-
If your F200EXR has a built in light meter then you could do it in manual. :wink:
-
....
Yes I could select Manual and decide on any combination of shutter and aperture to achieve any under/correctly/over exposed result - It displays the degree of exposure.
Also, I can select different light metering settings - Multi/Spot/Average.
Quite a powerful little tool for what it is but never gonna be a substitute for its much bigger brothers. It's important to recognise the limitations.

Really? The previous incarnations of this camera (including my F50) have both shutter and aperture priority modes where you can control one and the camera controls the other.

^^^^
Perhaps I'm being thick and haven't worked it out yet but it only mentions setting the aperture in the Handbook.
-
Robin,
Am pretty sure you are not being thick by any means, having looked through the reviews I am pretty certain that it does not do shutter priority :scared: Good review on Gadget Show though.

Having explored it some more and reading the Handbook PDF, I'm pretty too that you can't do shutter priority within an Auto mode.
However, as I think Hedge alluded to, by deciding and setting a shutter speed in Manual it's then just a matter of balancing what you want between aperture setting and exposure bar which is displayed - A 3-way juggle.

I like this, but would worry the crap outta me if my 450d fell off at 50mph! :scared:
-
Hehehe - I know what you mean - I've done it with my 5D :scared:
-
oh no, those 5d's aint cheap! :sick:

The compact fuji camera range, IIRC, never had aperture and shutter priority modes in Automatic. They do in (semi)Manual mode.
Back on topic - those mounts would have helped when I tried to take shots whilst driving to SpringFest. I bet Markymark wasn't too impressed with my weaving across the lane! :grin: :grin: :grin:

For a complete ametuer what manual settings would be best for moving shots on a digital compact??
Thanks
-
What digital compact have you got Mike - let us know and I can give a bit of advice.

A Panasonic dmc-fs5, 10mp, 30mm wide angle would the info printed on the lense be useful?
Thanks! :happy2:

Mike - it does not look as though your camera support shutter priority, or for that fact aperture priority which does not really help you out at all :surprised:

For great moving car shoots you need to have a look at investing ine one of these:
