Rollin...

Hey There!

I'm a noob

I have attempted 'rolling' shots before and never been successful. Went cruising on the weekend and was able to get these shots...

Would like some feedback and tips please

All three are very crisp and sharp, but a different time of day may benefit you alot too, b/c the sun flares in the first are pretty distracting. Your first two seem to be pretty under exposed. You third one is your best shot and a pretty good shot at that.

What were the setting on there photos ? I ask b/c there seems to be quite a bit of noise.

Keep at it, and you have started in a very good way.

Thanks Ken.

I think my main issue was the sun. In the first two the sun was to the left of the car.

In the third, the car was driving toward the sun. And I think the angle of the 3rd shot works better.

Shot Three -

Tv(Shutter Speed) 1/50Sec.
Av(Aperture Value) F22
ISO Speed 800
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Focal Length 18.0 mm

Shot Two -

Tv(Shutter Speed) 1/80Sec.
Av(Aperture Value) F32
ISO Speed 800
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Focal Length 41.0 mm

Shot One -

Tv(Shutter Speed) 1/100Sec.
Av(Aperture Value) F32
ISO Speed 800
Lens EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Focal Length 50.0 mm

Yeah you must lower your ISO speed, there is almost no reason to have it that high with the amount of sun you have. And i agree the 3rd shot works pretty wel for you.

1 and 2 are cropped too tight. 3 works, but it's still a bit tight. Show more of that car like in #3's angle

I agree, & a smaller f-stop like f/5.6 will help blur the not-so-hot background more?

A bit of different post-processing will help, too. Backlit cars can look a lot better than that. Look at some of Kenny's shots.

Keep at it, and...

the n15 looks like its barely moving. like they say, they are cropped a bit tight and post processing wouldn't go a miss.

thanks for all the tips

my ISO was so because I was scared of it being to low LOL

asylumxl - the n15 was moving....fast....lol. what is it with drivers of turbo cars, all got heavy foots

so things to work on -

1. lower ISO
2. more light
3. better angle
4. don't crop too tight

oh, and better PP. I suck at PS CS2, so that is an issue

If you would like someone to mess with your photos in PP, then let us know by turn on the 'edit image ok' option.

1.my general rule for ISO is that if my f/ stop is as low as it gets and i am at 1/30 shutter then i will bump the ISO to get the right exposure. This may be a bad technique but it work alright for me.

2.You have more then enough light.

3. As i too am experimenting with rolling shots, i have come to the conclusion that you are able to hide the driver with the a-pillar you are doing good. You really want there to be a 35/65 of front and side.

4. Give the car some surrounds, the moving road surface is always real nice to have in rolling shots.

Get back out and shot some more. And just sit down and play with PS until you learn it. Thats what i had to do. It really is an easy program once you get the basics down.

thansk for the tips again. I'll get back out.

I by no means am a PS pro, i would barely consider myself an ametuer, but i thought i would play around with one of your photos. Here you go:
