Bimmersport Calendar 2010 - Photo Competition

Recommended Posts

Any CHCH lads want to get together for a last minute group shoot on the w/end?

Yep, I am keen.

It depends if I can get the car out of the mechanics though! Fingers crossed.

Keep me posted please Mark.

I'll be someones slave for a week if they can get smoke out of the rear tires on a downhill slide. Smoke comes from powering, DH stuff is all inertia :)

Another one you guys can pisstake :lol: :

Boys don't be mean, it's only an M20. They can't smoke AND move forwards

Wanna bet :ph34r:

There's only 10-20% throttle on in a DH drift, smoke is impossible unless it's a really long corner and the the tires heat up enough.

They are great shots and good effort for doing them. But they do look abit plain for an 'action shot', Like too clear. Maybe if the shot was focussed on the car and the background abit blurry it would look more like it's in motion ?

I didn't take them, I know they need a slower shutter speed. :lol: And I'm posting the rejects.

Slower shutter speed won't help. Only way you can get a shot with the car in focus and the background blurred is if the cameraperson is in a car alongside going the same speed, or if you have a camera rig on the car.

You could always pshop some smoke in?

It will help, you can reduce shutter speed and track the car with AI Servo focus and that way the car is in focus and the back ground has horizontal blur. Just like Frantics Pic there. But the idea today was crisp pics for a mature Calender. The submitted pics don't have much oversteer going on.

Going the same speed as the subject is not the _only_ way to get blurry background though. Certainly have to know shutter speeds are their effects to get a shot like your second one Heath.

I'm still quite surprised you think that Mark, you seem to know your stuff!

*Took shots like this last week at the MotoSoc trackday. I wasn't running down the mainstraight at 130kph to get them haha

Or just have it on autofocus, stick your hand with camera out the window and snap away!

By moving the lens with the car you can match speed with the object

True true, I don't know everything.

AI focus can work wonders. But you'll notice your last shot isn't completely in focus.

A large aperture telephoto zoom is the shizz (what was most likely used in the shot Frantic posted). But they're lots of $$$.
