Sevn posted:I have been looking at shots from the rink, and it looks like there is because their shots are pretty clear. He also said I could go to the 2nd tier and shot from there if I wanted, not sure how good that would be though. It's not great and it's not bad. You can get some neat angles up there and be a little more creative, but you'll be looking down on all the players, which can look weird. Most published shots you see are done at ice level, it makes for a much more intimate photo.

Yeah, in almost every case, lower to the field/ice/court/etc is better than above.

More motorsport, working on my panning. 600hp GT-R, the acceleration out of the corners was unbelievable for a street car. This 260 caught on fire, too bad it was on the other side of a hill from me at the time Round 1 of the WA Drift series is in November, I can't wait.

My Rockets shot themselves in the foot again. Two turnovers in the redzone. A perfect pass that easily would have been a TD (he was -gone-), dropped. Just tough to watch. Oh well. I just hope we tear up the MAC. Oh, and Reedy almost took me out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTKHfIvXIio

Some pictures of a local rally, this time taking place in the middle of Estonia, near Viljandi. There were even 3 trucks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4ksp74Wcs and here's a video of some crashes from the same place the last photo is from. Unfortunately (for me), I wasn't there on the first "lap" and no crashes happened on the second "lap". Full set here on Flickr.

Yeah it's a shame, the three quarter views are a lot more dynamic than straight profiles. Works a lot better with drifting where the direction of motion isn't the direction the nose is pointing. Those wide pans are pretty sweet too. Datsun, Porsche by Sunday Punch, on Flickr GT-R wheel by Sunday Punch, on Flickr Next time I go to the track I'm exclusively shooting wheels/brakes. Maybe some blistered tyres.

The upside to the 3/4 view is you can shorten the shutter a bunch, making the shot easier. As long as you can't see the spokes of the tires, the shot will still look "fast". Another option is faking a pan by adjusting the zoom while the shutter is open, but I've found it to be pretty tricky. I took this last year, and it's kind of a neat effect, but easy to overdo: With a true 3/4 or even a head-on perspective, it probably looks better.

I assume so. "Adjusting zoom" seemed to me like a less ambiguous way to describe it. John Thawley talks about the 3/4 shot a little bit too: http://www.johnthawley.com/journal/2008/8/18/the-pan-shot-taking-control.html Basically, sacrifice getting the whole car in focus and you can actually end up with a more interesting photo (the 1/30 shot of the Ferrari is fantastic). Someday I wanna get that by changing the zoom instead of panning.

I just had my first real experience with floodlights. It made me find out how hard I could push the ISO on my 7D. And it hosed up the colors. I guess I can fix it in post, but I just haven't had the time yet.

Haven't though about that actually, thanks for the input. I got an advice from a Scanpix-photographer here i Norway regarding focus. Instead of using the centre focus point, I should use the one in the top. That way the player's face would "always" be sharp, and that was often the most important aspect. Think I'll try it later today when I'll be taking pictures of Hasle-Løren - Skeid.

# ? Sep 24, 2011 10:20 |

Yeah, the outer focus points can be fun to experiment with. I think of them as pre-composing the shot, don't have to worry about framing, just put the dot on the subject and take a picture. I knew all that time I spent playing FPS games would pay off someday.

Nothing over 100mm is allowed, and they gave my OM-1 a pretty good lookover to be sure of it. still, lot less stupid than Michigan. Between OSU/Colorado and Cincinnati/NC State, I have 7 rolls being developed. I'm sure this will be nice and inexpensive

F/16 FOOTBAW Florescent lights do some interesting things to film. Probably not very surprising but yeah, makes a hell of a blue/green tint. Also this is why you should always point cameras at student sections. They will notice you, and they will go crazy. It's seriously a law or something.

If you get to hang out with longboarders a lot, you should try working on panning. If you hadn't told us he was skating at 40 mph, we'd never know. He looks like he's standing still in the photo.

I don't shoot sports very often, but I was at Ironman Canada, and I liked this shot. Jealous of all the people shooting rally, I love it and would love to go see some, but there's not exactly a lot of it going on in the PNW (even though our conditions would be great!).

This game was a couple weeks ago, but I'm only just now getting to the blog post so here you go! It was our first night game, just installed the lights the week before, and they were actually better than I expected. I still managed to shoot like poo poo for whatever reason though, grr. Handful of selects: It was raining all weekend leading up to this game... these jerseys started out white. Here, I rip off my own photo from the previous game. Full post here.
