Todays Karting

Tried some higher shutter speeds today.

1/160th for pans.
1/320th for most.
AV mode F4 for some of the front on shots.

Hmmm. Maybe a 67mm ND4 is in order...

the exif says they are all 1/1000?

#1 TV mode 1/320th
#2-5 AV mode F4 (Just happened to be 1/1000th)

Need to stick an ND4 on and get F4 down to 1/500th or so.

they are a tad soft man, did you apply any USM?

No USM.
Come to think of it, I don't do USM much at all

Just put them up with a touch of USM (3.0, 0.3)

not bad but there is no sense of speed or motion at all.

Hope you dont mind, I applied USM to the last one at 270, .5, 0 (I guess this is how to display my settings )

I tend to oversharpen so let me know what you think, I also had to convert to jpeg in order to post

Hmm, no pix showing, other than franko515's.

My ADSL is up and down today

I had plenty of "sense of speed" ones
I was trying higher shutter speeds for a change.
Didn't even get any 1/50th pans

That does look a little oversharpened to me. I think something in between the two is probably on the mark. Nice shots. I have an opportunity to shoot some kart racing this year so I'm checking these out.

To the fellow that mentioned a lack of "sense of speed"... how would you introduce that into the shots?

By the way, my favorites are the one you liked... with the line of karts behind the leader, and the one before it of the same fellow with his inside front tire in the air.

That last shot gives "a sense of speed" eh?

I agree with this but not for shot #3. Although it is completely 'frozen', the inside front is off the ground, there is a bit of counter steer, a lot of stress on the outside rear, and the driver's foot is mashed on the gas. To me, that is not just a sense of speed, but also a confimation of speed.

1/160th
Blurred wheels and background.

Not as much blur as you get at 1/30th though...
