Advice for rolling shots

Looking for some tips when taking rolling shots. I'm going to attempt them for the first time tomorrow. I tried to search, but could'nt find any with the setting the photographers used.

Is there anything I shoujld watch for and try to avoid doing, or that I should do?

Any help is appreciated.

examples or links to some good shots with/without settings would be nice.

you mean like panning?

i usually set the aperture at around f8 then shoot the car, following the subject until the shutter closes.

The terms aren't defined anywhere that I know of, but I usually think of "rolling shots" as being car-to-car, while "panning shots" are when you're standing there & the car goes by.
To start with, try to be as aware of the backgrounds as you would be for any other shot.

First shoot with moving cars need advice.

I have a few friends that say to use your speed to set the speed of the camera to learn from and see where to go from there ie 60 mph 1/60 (this is also dependant of the amount of lighting that you have when you shoot) I hope that it helps, I haven't done this yet but that is the pointers that I have gotten.

thanks guys. phots guy you got what I'm saying. Im going to go check that thread out now

A decent rule of thumb, I typically try to go with a slower shutter speed for each shot I take. You want to push the envelope and possibly get better wheel/background motion.

This was taken at 60km/h (About 40 MPH) at 1/30 of a second.

I like the shots above.
I just recently started doing rolling shots and its pure practice like anything else. I found my best results were on the major highways (you'll get some weird looks and its obviously dangerous hanging out of a car at 100 kmh but they look good. I try for 1/40 at high speed and its still clear. anything below i had trouble with. But if you can go below my 1/40 the motion would look amazing. Im jealous

Here's my rule of thumb:

60mph - 80mph = 1/60th & whatever f/stop to keep it around there.

Wow great shots and thanks for the info.
