Hi,
Ive searched the web and found this forum because im in need of help!!
I take pictures of motor-sport, Stock car racing to be exact.
At the beginning of this year i brought a canon 300d with a 550ex flash and have found it very good.
But then there came a time where i we went along to a night meeting which is held under floodlights and the problems started!
Near enough all the shots ive taken have come out blurred or with countless shadowing around the subject that's in shot.
Last night this happened again (For the 3rd time!) so this has made me seek help and advise.
With things not looking to good i started to fiddle with the settings which all of what i tried not helping at all.
I changed the settings, such as AWB,iso,setting on the mode dial, also the mode on the flash gun and changed it on to the slave setting all with no real joy.
This puzzles me totally as last week in the day light i managed to take near enough 350 perfect shots.
The one thing i don't think i changed was the shutter speed.
Im not sure if im panning right either for the night time shots.(making me conscious and getting it wrong even more so!)
Any help would be gratefully received!
Thanks
Heres a couple of examples of the shots im getting :(
