Very nice shot Pterps, what lens and settings did you use?

pterps · 09-16-2006, 02:00 PM

I used my 75-300 mm lens.

1/125 sec
F/6,3
100 mm
ISO 200

Thanks, by the way what happened on Stage 3?

A team in a Opel Ascona crashed, the car caught fire. The driver seriously injured and the co driver (a woman) died in the flames.

OMG

:shock:

Black day for the rally :cry:

Sorry to read about the accident but the panning shot is nonetheless well done.

BTW, browsing my pics I found the most extreme try I ever did: 1/15 and of course only a tiny part of the car is sharp, near the center..

Today I took some pics of my friend's Volvo (yes I know its 'only' a Volvo, but he just got it, so we had to go take some pics of course 8)).

I used 1/30sec or possibly 1/40sec, with him driving about 35mph.

Yes, not a panning shot, but still wanted to share:

Also, that is a dark day

for the rally.

Nice pic TT, even though its a little fuzzy; 1/15 is quite difficult!

I've been way too busy recently, but I shot some fresh material today. Will post a full report soon! Oh, and I learned to use a polarizer while panning.

I had not taken panning shots for ages ... last week I went to MSR circuit with RC and AgentOrange to help with shooting - I realized that panning is skill that warrants a lot of practice. A lot of my pics were crap and good for the trashcan. i took a few decent ones of two Rufs - hopefully you will see it in the second edition of 0-60 magazine.

Anyway, am attaching here some shots of other cars. The cars were a good distance away - about 300 metres and thus the cars look a bit small

Nice sameerrao! I like it when you get to see more of the surroundings.

Another apetizer:

Great shots Martijn!

I would like those events too to practise with my camera, how do you know about these events?

MartijnGizmo · 10-03-2006, 04:09 AM

I wish I'd knew more about events! I keep an eye on http://www.tt-assen.nl/ , but that's all. I'd love to 'shoot' more events.....

TopGearNL · 10-03-2006, 04:58 AM

Yeah thanks, too bad Assen is pretty far away for me.

I don't understand why we never have Supercar events like that one In The Czech Republic where Mihals was
