Finally got myself a nikon 70-300vr, so thought i'd go try it out :dance:
most of the photo's are noisy, that's my fault for leaving it on auto iso :wall:
still need load's more practice, as these are not that great, think this is the 3rd time trying now

rip them apart, only way im going to learn

I think they are superb mate! When I'm shooting moving stuff like that, I normally use aperture priority... save me haveing to mess about with the settings too much.

Really into them though :tu: nice work

Quality shots! Its pictures like this that make me wish I had the money to get myself a decent camera

[Captain Meowmix]

Not bad fella

The colours don't look quite right (not sure of the term?) but thats probably a setting you could tweak. You're definitely getting the cars in focus though instead of the background!

Awesome effort that fella, definatly got the right idea on the panning, plenty of motion in the wheels etc.

Were you using AI SERVO as your focusing setting? Just that one of them looked slightly soft and out of focus, like the focus had slipped for a second when you took it.

[Ussher]

top effort fella!

[Wizza]

They look quality bud.

[Ste]

just realised it wasn't on auto iso, it's on iso800 :shock: :pmsl:
must of been when i was messing in low light and forgot the change it back :oops:

they was on aperture, gonna give shutter a try next, as it will help with the change in lighting, sun poping in and out

know what you mean, the colours down seam to pop out, could adjust the levels more i guess

prob didnt quite follow the car perfectly for the pan, might be with it's a bit oof

AF-C (continuous servo) for focus
single area for af-area, think i should of used dynanic now



next time i go, going to double check settings

[LM]

What model Nikon are you using fella?

On mine, albeit a Canon, I've got 3 custom settings on my turn-wheel, so I can create my own custom settings, and flick between them easily. Something like that would be good for motorsport IMO.

[Ste]

just a cheap d40 mate, no such option's for doing that on mine :(

[LM]

Did well to get them out of a D40 fella :tu:

[Ste]

the D40 a great cam, considering it's price, can produce great pic's - but im not that good yet :lol:

[LM]

I'll be honest fella, I had a go of one just after I got my 400D a few years back, and I absolutely fucking HATED it, but it's each to their own, and whatever works best for the person in question. :tu:
