Shutter Speed????

[SebringRS]

Hi guys, wat would u say is the best shutter speed for my Olympus C-70 Digital camera, so i can take moving pictures alot like this one

 

 

I know how to change the shutter speed, but have never really had a reason to change it, but im thinkin i may need it tomoz as im takin pics of car drivin past and i thought it would look cool if i had some of my pics lookin like tht

this car was going walking speed and the shutter speed is 1/40

 

this was 1/160

 

this was 1/100

 

 

start at around 1/200 and have a play around with the setters after taking a few pics

[SebringRS]

awesome, cheers dude

[tim]

what sort of pics you lookin to take?

[SebringRS]

Well its the shakespeare run tomoz, and basically every year we go to a pub and sit and watch the cars go past, so im thinkin the 1st pic you put will be the best settin, cus where we usually sit is where the traffic builds up

[tim]

best place to practise with loads of cars going past, have a play with the speeds,when u get home you can find out what speed you use from the picture data which you can get by right clicking on the pic

[SebringRS]

Is tht info in properties??

[tim]

yea the details part of properties,gives u all the data from the file

[SebringRS]

Awesome, cheers m8.

 

I'l let u know how i got on tomoz, and maybe post some pics up if they come out good

[tim]

post them up so we can see how u got on.

[SebringRS]

will do

Well i tried, 1st one i took was too light, i had it on the wrong setting

 

2nd was a bit better but tht was only at 1/160, and never got to go lower than tht because there were no more cars , and i missed all the OSF's cus i was eatin lunch

 

I'l post the one i got right up later, looks ok. But i think if i go lower on the shutter speed, i'l get a good shot. Im gunna get a day free and take my car somewhere, and get my dad to drive it round so i can practise my panning and get the perfect shutter speed

wheres you photos ? so we can help

 

this was a cople i did sunday at a test track cars at 100mph plus

 

[SebringRS]

I'l post em up tomora night as i gotta get an early night, as im bk to skool tomoz

[SebringRS]

Tht was my atempt, my 1st attempt and to me doesnt look too bad now i can see it on a bigger screen , tht was only at 1/200 shutter speed never had a chance to go any lower b'cus there wasent many other cars

 

But i can get lots of practise this weekend as on saturday im goin to the Euro finals at the pod, then on sunday goin to donny for the RSOC National day I'l post my attemps after tht aswell, will hopefully get to a lower shutter speed
