Hi guys i need some help... advise on photography... currently using an Canon IXUS V3 and tried to take some cornering shots.... but alas, cannot make it... example below...

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forum/files/blurcornering.jpg
(*dont worry... the photograph above was taken in a closed road with marshallers and safety ambulance waiting nearby... no harm was inflicted to any bugs or animals in the creation of the pic)
so my question is... how can i set up my camera to take still pics of moving objects at speed?

and is the IXUS v3 too lousy to take or i just dunno how to do so? hehehe

Yo bro!

Get yourself a tripod. Fix your canon on it and try to get to a position where the bike will go as horizontally across you as possible.

Set settings to Tv, then choose a nice shutter speed, don't have to be fast, I'll explain in a while.

To get a nice trick shot, do a pan when the bike comes across, meaning you just turn the camera with the bike as it goes along bearing in mind to keep as little vertical difference as possible. (This is for a longer shutter speed, which will result in a clear bike but a streaked blur background showing speed.)

Hard to achieve but fantastic results when you get it.

To get a clear shot of the bike and the background, just pump to biggest aperture (smallest number), least zoom, higher ISO settings and faster shutter speed, that should catch the air going pass your helmet too! hehehehehe Enjoy and post me some photos!

eh bro since u got the know how... when going to come along and help me take?? hehehe i know u got invest in power power cameras too... come lah... my v3 cannot adjust shutterspeed or aperture... only ISO settings and zoom and i tried using the panning technique but prob is at this particular bend... the camera man is 2metres from the passing bike... and the bike is going at about 120kmh? so very very fast go past! hard to pan properly leh...

panning on the ixus v3 is very hard but it is still posiible. have to try many times. try it with the infinity(the hill icon)mode setting, shutter is faster on that setting.

Paiseh, donnoe ur camera cannot set Tv, never used a digital IXUS before.

Hehehe...... I exams leh. No pwr pwr lah, newbie at it, saving for a decent tripod and still polishing up skills.

Basket, 2Metres? ask hom/her go further lah! wakakakaka. Like that I must invest in another wide angle lens liaoz!! chui lah, no more things to sell, so that will have to wait! hahahahaha!!

Else u all ride slower lah, do some power slow knee dragging or something? hehehehe....... My skill not enuff to take those pro shots but I dun mind experimenting.

See how see how, anyway my school so near ur camp, lunch time u come out pull a wheelie I do a full capture for u! wakakakaka! But arrange must say early, coz my small lamb cannot take speeds of more than 60km/hr, old liaoz, so must head start go that place first! hehehehe......

Anyway digital's free! not nice u corner again and take lor, until no more sun then carry on another day! So u improve, I also improve and the monkeys also get to see show!

Here are some pics I took for the nature photography competition...

IMO (i'm no pro)

The picture's slightly out of focus. You used a tripod?

Did you deliberately wan to blur out the feelers and back?

Were you using a macro lens?

Try focusing to the front instead of the centre of the body, then use a smaller aperture for more DOF.

Lastly, ask the bug to smile

Yes..... its out of focus

Don't look like a macro lens.

The bug was smiling! The grin was so cute

Hahahaa, I was running around with my digicam. I don't know much about photography, so I just chased this little fella while it crawled all over the corridor. It was fun. Btw, the file size was too big so I tried to cut it down a little. i have two others but don't know how to edit to make it any smaller. only have paint and nikon editor. pathetic hor? I took one of a lightning and a grasshopper. When i manage to shrink the file size i'll put them online. Thanks for your comments!!

No wonder the little critter looks scared.

I would too if you chased me around the house with a digicam!

Or probably it got scared silly by ur tattooz.......

Resize the files and compress them as jpg.

It depends on what kind of pics you'd like to take...

For nature/landscape shots these would be good. My friend likes to take kids playing at Bugis's water fountain, which could be a good place too.

Anyone can explain to me the difference between memory stick, CF and XD? Which produces better saving quality and has last longer as in it won't spoil easily? Thanks...

solo · January 17, 2004

all are solid state memory and won't spoil easily. memory stick is sony's proprietary format (expensive). The other types are "open" standard. maximum storage capacity of CF is higher than the others (3GB for type II). don't worry about the media... just get the right camera.

Anyone owns and uses Canon 300D?

Can share the pros and cons, likes and dislikes?

I very tempted to buy, but my sensibility tell me to wait.

Sold my Minolta 800i and other gears a year ago.

Dont have any SLR now.

Check out the link.

Be warn - it will tempt you
