f1 car photo taking?! @ Suntec Ctiy
bridge?!!
Wow, those cars are going at 330lm/h, so fast and its at night.
How do i get a pic of my Ferrari then? Heres how i did it.
First of all, u'll need ear plugs. As most of the time you'll end
up be sticking your fingers into your ears and you can hardly snap
any pic. So Lets stuff those ear plugs into our
ears first.
The follwing applies to DSLR camera users For those with DSLR,
you'll have absoultely no problems getting your shot. But u'd have
to have a fast finger for that DSLR shoot button. zoom tiak tiak
tiak ( three shot tap) is how it works. try a few shots to see how
fast ur DSLR can react. shd be dang fast. and u'll do fine
Settings can refer below. Belwo is for compact camera users like
me,
For compact camera users , first thing to do is go to your
shutter burst mode. At this mode, Your camera
essentially can shoot many pics at one go. Under M settings play
around with your ISO to get a highest shutter setting. At there u
can go up to shutter 1/500 with ISO
400 (grainy pic is inevitable). I left my
aperature at F/2.6
For DSLR users, i was advised that u shd try f stop 6 or 7 for
typial night shooting of fast moving objects.
After that is a matter of using ur ears, detect the car coming
and just hold the shoot button for at last 5 seconds and the camera
will just go tiak tiak X14 shots If u r lucky the F1 car u
want will appear in the middle of your shot. lol. its a game of
lottery for compact users. But good news is practice laps are
usually done many times so u'd have many many chances to get the
shot.
And one shot shooting (normal shooting) will not work. because
compact cameras react slow. so the advice here is to use shutter
burst. I shoot at about 1 sec before F1 car appear. Watch ur
compact camera screen as u shutter burst, you can see the car
appear on screen if u success.
yup thats how i did it. u guys try it too.
