With the F1 night race coming to Singapore in September, some of you will surely want to take some pictures of the fast moving cars. Here's a video guide showing you how to take photos just as good as the professionals.
Here are the steps required:
1: Switch your camera to Shutter Priority mode by turning the mode dial to ‘S’ or on Canon models, ‘Tv’.
2: Choose a slower shutter speed which will blur the action. 1/60 is a good starting point.
3: Follow the subject through the viewfinder as you take the picture. Make sure you keep moving the camera as you press the button.
4: If the background isn’t sufficiently blurred, choose a slower shutter, such as 1/30 or 1/15. If the action is too blurred, choose a faster shutter like 1/125.
Take note:
If your camera or lens has anti-shake facilities, they might get confused by the panning motion. Some models have a special setting for panning. Other, newer models, can automatically detect panning. Check your manual, but if yours has neither, it’s best to switch the anti-shake off while taking these kind of photos.
Have fun snapping some photos while trying this out.
Bye!
