Thanks for the pics of the Mean Green 6x6!

That was a blast running with another multi-axled monster! Too bad there wasn't more time for that.

That one pic of chino in the backround is really cool. Looks like his eyes are closed though. Must have been the flash.

You need to show me how to use your camera so I can get some pics of your Slash.

The ones of my Slash mid air are frickin sweet.

I have to say Dieselfool, for as ugly as you are, you take some nice photos.

darkstar · 07-02-2008, 09:57 AM

Those are some nice pictures... a little tip.. when taking pics of fast moving objects, change your camera to the setting 'M', and change the shutter speed to 1/750 or higher... at around 1/1250 or so, you can freeze frame water droplets

Use Caution though, you need to have very good lightly for it to work well.

will do, thank for the tip! i can set it to 1/640 or 1/800. ill be playing with shutter speeds tonight down on the strip with the fireworks.. damn i wish a had a tripod...

darkstar · 07-04-2008, 06:06 PM

Diesel, are you saying you can only go to 1/750 or 1/800 on the speed? It should be A LOT higher than that. If you are taking pictures of the fireworks, I recommend a setting of this;
Change Dial to 'M'
shutter speed / exposure time - 4sec (play with this setting, but it depends on lighting)
F/Stop - F/5.6 or lower (lower number means more light, high number means less light)
ISO - Auto or 200-400
No Flash

If you want, I can show you some pics I've done of Fireworks and action shots. PM me if you want to check them.

oh it does, it goes up to 1/3200 or something crazy like that. i didn't end up taking any fireworks pictures. from what ive heard long exposure a tripod and manual focus on the lense will net decent fireworks photos... someday ill give it a try.

Yeah, long exposure and a tripod are a must. Most of it is just learning what settings work.

rbgerrish · 07-10-2008, 04:00 PM

Awesome pics!

What type of camera is it?

darkstar · 07-10-2008, 04:04 PM

I *think* he was shooting with the new Nikon D60
