my friend rolands 06' acura rsx (my first time trying to take rolling shots)

 

you are WAY to close to him. you need at least a lane in between you two. looks like the shutter speed was pretty fast. you can see detail in the background. the shutter should stay open long enough to blur the background and wheels, but not the car. smooth roads and a steady photographer are a must.

 

ok. thanks for the crutiques.

 

I think they look pretty damn good dude. Nice job!
What kind of camera?

Tyler

 

Are you the driver and the shooter?

You should have a driver and hang out the window taking the pics.
Id like to test rolling shots out. I plan on taking them out the rear hatch of the Fit

The pics dont look bad. Need more backround blurr. The wheels look good.

 

1st and 3rd are pretty good. Especially if you are the driver too!

 

thanks man. it's a canon 400d with wide angle lens.
yes i am the driver and the shooter. =)


yeah next time i will do that. it's so not safe. (my friend was holding the wheel though.. but still). yeah definitely you should do it!!

yeah but thanks. yeah i need to slower down the shutter speed next time. those are his stock base rims btw.. he just painted them white.

thanks man. yeah i was driving.

it should be better next time.

 

Not bad at all for first time. Usually you can get a moving shot and still get the car in good focus around 1/30th of a second don't know If I would go to much lower without a tripod.

 

if you're shooting, don't be driving at the same time please.

pix look nice though dude! good job

 

at least 1 lane apart, and yall must be going the same speed.

 

looking good but i would try to start at a slower speed in a parking lot or something just playing with the settings then as you get more comfortable up the speed of travel a little ... that is my $.02

 

These look pretty good, I don't know if I'd slow down the shutter by much, but I would probably adjust the aperture to give the shot less depth of field so you end up with a bit of an out of focus background, with the subject still in sharp focus. This would give it a real feeling of speed even if you're only doing 30mph or so.

And definitely have someone else drive (not to beat a dead horse or anything.)

 

I just got a new Canon Rebel XSI, took this while waiting in line at midnight for GTA 4.

It was taken without a tripod, while I was standing on the sidewalk.

 

I think the suggestions are good but just drive with your knees and have one eye in the lens and the other eye on the road...lol jk

 

lmao!!! please dont do this :P

 

wow smatts thats a pretty clean pan shot. nice work, should have put a nicer car in the frame though ;)

 

If you have another lens with a lower apeture.. try switching it out.. usually the wide lens is higher then 3 i would think, is it the 10-22 canon?.. the posts above are right.. lower apeture and lower shudder speed.. try using a polarizing filter to or maybe on a cloudy day.. 40d is good camera.. but probably not the best lens choice for this situation.. if you got it it's worth studying up on it..

 

so gave it another shot and tried again.. i think there still a little iffy (bad-need to work on it and practice more)
bug eye

My first try at rolling shots..
This is of our friends car Si

My husband was driving so it was easier for me...

 

^oh nice. looks like you and your friends like honda. haha
