Panning action shots (post pictures, and suggestions etc.)

[Darkel]

Awesome pictures, Martijn
Is it possible to have a pic of the whole installation ? I've always been keen on "behind the scene" pictures

Talking about panning shots, I finally gave it a try this week-end; the weather was sunny so I had to set f10 for a correct motion effect which resulted in a 1/320s shutter speed, I should have slowed it down a bit more but didn't exactly trust my arms
This is my favorite one so far :

Totally forgot about it, I'll take my PowerShot G5 with me next time to take some behind the scenes shot.

Nevermind, I just went out to the zoo carpark and think I've pretty much figured it out anyway. I just need to learn to keep my head and hands still!

I PM'd you dingo. 8)

hey Martijn, is it two photos in one?

no 25 second exposure would have a living person so crisp going agaisnt gravity i think.

Ok, dudes fuck off, Martijn (maybe the best bet since we both are in Europe), dingo, nth, where should I buy the damn suction thing online?

[dutchmasterflex]

haha, TT.

I know exactly how you feel. I want one now too! like right NOW.

See how the incar light is one? When you're shooting at 25 seconds, anything you shine the light on (even if its only for a split second) will get exposed, sharp and clear.. and everything else in the dark and in motion will be blurred..

sorry for the half ass explanation

duh :spaz: , i knew that; just didn't think of it

ive done tons of photos like that (where the same person ends up being multiple places in the same shot) its pretty cool

Haha, no, it's just one exposure and I asked my sis' to sit really still. I can post the pic straight out of the camera if there's any interest in it.


But putting a remote flash with Omnibounce (bare-bulb-effect) inside the car might actually be a good idea!

After a quick search in eBay I only found a few of them

Cullmann
Seems a bit too small, the camera will be too close to the car and doesn't seem to move around that much

Manfrotto
Manfrotto is top quality, but this one seems to tiny LOL

I use the Cullman mount...

if you get the full traveling kit, you suddenly have tremendous versitility.

Oh, you use the same one as in eBay? You never feel the need to have the camera a bit more far away from the car?

Before buying them I'll do some more efforts and search for them in stores around here, but anyway I don't have any major indepth planned for the near future, so no rush I guess

CU-1001 i believe.

and you can mount devices to the mount to make the camera further away... its much cheaper that way.

I see, thanks
