What type of photography should I try next?

@user-ph8mi3ts2c 8 ай бұрын

Photography without wearing sunglasses :-)

You should definitely try Aviation photography.

The panning becomes natural really quickly if you're shooting racing often - like any photography there comes a moment where you click (pun intended.) I wish there was more opportunities for non-racing media to get close to the track. I get trackside for 25-30 weekends a year, and I love seeing the faces of photographers who are having their first experience of getting the opportunity. Great vid!

You should try the RF 70-200 in IS mode 2 or 3. Otherwise great tips!

Have tried and it's still a higher hit rate with it off when below 1/20 (used JGazze lens at the INDY)

Been shooting motorsports for 2+ years and muscle memory/practice makes perfect for panners. I also hand-pan everything unless it's my 150-600. Another great tip is think of it as a golf swing. You don't want to stop mid "swing" even if the car is out of your view/composition at the end of your pan.

I like the inclusion of the setting you used for each photography, some people learn differently and i have found I learn with the tech specs of an image, so thanks for including them!

The great thing about Lime Rock Park is the fact that the fans are literally track side for the entire track (except Sam Posey straight) and you don't need a press pass. Cool to watch IMSA race at that historic venue. I seriously recommend it if you are in the area and want to work on your motorsport photography.

@zeus.edwards2662 6 ай бұрын

There are also some more tips in panning where foreground is motion blurred ( trees lights etc ) with the back ground motion blur and car in focus between the motion blur.another trick is understanding what a camera actually do with continuous focusing when the shutter is pressed.

I had a feeling I recognized that track off the beat! Always happy to see another photographer enjoying CTMP. I just did my first motorsport photography session earlier this year at the IMSA race hosted in July :). Great video! Great to see what it's like from the perspective of having a Media pass too.

As a wedding videographer I feel like I’d have a natural head start on smooth tracking. Between isle walking shots and tracking the bouquet toss, I bet that experience would come in handy at a track for the first time😂

@DelaneyMedia 8 ай бұрын

Yeah it definitely transfers, although I’ll say tracking a car at 200mm is definitely more challenging than any wedding tracking shots I’ve done

Nice vid. Very helpful stuff. Can you give any spec info or details to look for in cameras to be able to shoot motorsports? Perhaps some beginner to mid lever compact , cameras that you can recommend that can shoot motorsports, but cqn also be used in day to day street photography?? Thanks

@erwindegier7797 Ай бұрын

Camera stops focussing when pressing the shutter but keeps focussing when using back button focus? Is this true? I always thought BBF was only a usability feature.

@dylanconnors1180 4 ай бұрын

When it comes to image stabilization, is it just the lens that should be turned off, or is there an in-body setting as well? I've always shot with it on, I'm curious to see what the difference will be with my hit rate this season. Solid video btw!

@trailingrails9953 7 күн бұрын

Depends on the system, but I’d generally recommend disabling IBIS.

Can you elaborate on how turning image stabilization off helps? Genuinely curious. Looking to improve my photography.

@DelaneyMedia 3 ай бұрын

From What Rich explained to me, when you’re tracking the car as it goes by, image stabilization will try and correct for your movement, and can cause more motion blur to appear in images than it helps remove.

@@DelaneyMedia Interesting. I've been shooting at the Mosport karting track and have only really experimented with turning the OSS on my Sony 70-200GM II to mode 2 (panning). I haven't gone below 1/200 of a second though, so perhaps that's why many of my keeper shots are tack-sharp, even with OSS on (still a good amount of blur). I've been wanting some more background blur though, so will be playing with lower shutter speeds. Might have to give turning OSS off a try and compare back to back. :)

@paulhull1090 Ай бұрын

@@Digitalfiendscom Setting 2 only corrects vertical shake,allows stabilisation then to pan

@trailingrails9953 7 күн бұрын

@@Digitalfiendscombecause mode 2 makes it only compensate for vertical movement axis, without getting in the way of the horizontal pan. I think that was general advice, since many/most glass doesn’t let you select just one axis or the other.
