Into the Light (another action photo)

radiantm3 · 08-08-2009, 12:26 AM

Not the sharpest photo because the road was pretty bumpy, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Photographing in the evening would have been nicer as well, but didn't have much choice. The license plate text was just photoshopped in to mask my real one (not that it's a big deal if people see it).

Badass shot, we just got a new camera and need to learn how to do motion shots like that.

datbimmerdoe · 08-08-2009, 03:50 PM

Sick shot!!

+1 on the license plate.

ssabripo · 08-08-2009, 04:37 PM

well done.

what settings did you use? I assume Tv with a 1/30 or so speed?

Judge · 08-08-2009, 06:08 PM

Beautiful. It reminds me how bad I need to wax mine again.

Point N Shoot · 08-08-2009, 06:36 PM

Nice photo, you got there.. I use a Rig aswell, you should put a Neutral Density Filter of 0.6 or 0.9 and your pic wont be blown out like that next time.. my 2 cents..

Had an 8x nd filter and shot at F22. It was a sunny day.

The rear and back seat windows are as dark as they come. I forgot how dark the front windows are. I just know it's one of the lighter shades.

wow, thats funny, what time of day? cause here in Tri-State I believe at the moment season, if I go out after 5pm, ND F8-16 max, lowest Iso= 50, can do the trick..

HondaGoneRogue · 08-09-2009, 12:39 AM

That is soooo bad ass.....

It was around 2-3pm in the afternoon in "Sunny California".

I should try ISO 50. Totally forgot I have that (it's currently disabled in the settings). Are you using a 5D mkII? (nevermind, I just noticed D300 in your profile)

Robert · 08-09-2009, 01:17 AM

Do you have a camera mount arm? Is that how its done?

escobar929 · 08-09-2009, 07:31 AM

Great shot!
