Slow Shutter, Fast Cars

Jon Sarmiento of Blanche Racing speed up and took sets the front wheel best time.

Last March 17, 2013 at Robinson's Novaliches parking lot, Shell Helix once again burned tires for its slalom event.  I brought some friends for a PhotoWalk PhotoTalk about how to create panning shots.  Here let me share some camera settings we used.

Get Ready, Get Set!

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon so we had the chance to set ISO to 100, 50mm prime at f 16 and shutter speeds from 1/30, 1/40 and 1/50.  I used a manual lens, but for my friend John Aquino who used auto focus, he set focus mode to AF-C for his Pentax.

Better late than never, Dan Panesa arrived the venue at 6PM.  On a higher vantage point Dan set camera for a low light panning shot: ISO 1600, aperture to f2.8 and shutter speed to 1/30 sec.  Focus point is moved to the upper left corner of the screen and focus mode to AF-C for continuous focusing.
