great write up but im a little confused on those rig shots...by looking at it i gathered the camera was set up to the lower right front side of the car facing the car but those shots that followed look like they were taken by someone else, instead of the rig, driving next to the car...?

 

Thanks for the tips. I plan to get DSLR for Christmas and will try these tips out.

 

the car isnt even turned on, its coasting at like .5mph but the shutter speed is set where it gives the illusion that the car is going 80+mph. the camera is activated my a remote that is attached to the camera.

We switched the rig position in a few of the shots so you can see why the position of the angle is different. The camera is low to the ground but has a wideangle lens on so that the entire car can be seen. I believe the lens Vince uses is a Canon 12-22mm, quite an expensive lens ($600-$700 new).

 

Alvin, I just bought an Xsi if you have some good tips/tricks hit me up on the pm. I am anxious to learn bro.....

i went out last night with some friends of mine and took some pics of them riding bikes. this may not be much help because i can't remember what all settings i had the camera on. i know i had the iso set to 800, using the A setting(aperature I assume) , and the f was all over the place but for the ones below i think it was on 6.0 - 11.0. my question is what can i do as far as setting up the camera to get these shots to come out with less blur and possibly reduce the iso for a clearer picture. i was also using a vivitar 285hv on the hotshoe. PS this was all done without a tripod(i do have one i just didn't use it)

too much flash, but not a bad picture



iso 800, fstop aprox 11, exp -2 i think


same as above except the fstop was 7 or so




iso 800, fstop7.1 or 6.3 i can't remember exactly and i wanna say the exp was -3

 

i could be wrong and didn't think about it until now, but should i be using the s (is this shutter speed?) setting and working with the setting in that mode?

the rest of the pics can be found here

whoa that is awesome. thanks man. we went out again last night and i tried it on the S priority which worked out a great deal better. i set the camera shutter speed to 1/40th and it worked out great. any ideas on how i could make these pics better(just the photography not photoshop) please voice them.

 

i was bored last night and did a re-edit on this one. re-adjusted some stuff and i like it better.....

10mm ftw

 

Few pics I've taken using my Canon DSLR 10D:

some new 1's just took...what is the right mode to use for shooting night shots without a tripod...will be going to disneyland next week and i'd like to take a pic of the castle when it gets dark....

thanks....

 

use a tripod. if you dont it wont work out well. you might be able to pull it off with vibration reduction lens at 2.8 or wider and a pretty high ISO but then things will get noisy.
