Fraser, Camera panning is a great technique to master and can get some superb results, but there is another way :shock: - the way which I think may have been used to make the image to which you posted a link. With an all over sharp, non blurred photo (such as the ones you're wishing you could get...

Have a look at . Well I looked at this, and all it looks like to me is a parked Mini Cooper, taken with the camera at an angle, a bit out of focus, with a lot of chromatic aberration in the background. I don't think it looks like it's moving AT ALL. I am increasingly coming to the conclusi...

Sun Beam Portrait
Pete, this is your girlfriend right? from this and the other pics you've posted of her I get the feeling she is not really 100% comfortable during these photo sessions, maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong, not everyone is totally relaxed in front of a lens, or perhaps you need a bit more experience? I ...

How to force wireless flash (K100D, af360fgz) ?
Thanks Matt, followed your search pattern, found some umbrellas that look interesting. For portraits would you use white umbrella more than silver? That is my reading of the product information. There are two sorts of umbrellas - reflective and translucent. With the former, the flash faces awa...

Helston Flora Day in Cornwall
lovely shots. I'd crop the second one. right down the middle of the first lady's back. It's a nice shot, photographically speaking....but from the perspective of the woman, not terribly flattering. Guys...if a woman ever asks you "Does this dress make me look fat?" There is only one...

Hockey shots
When I saw the title to this thread I thought "Hooray! Pictures of women in short skirts" :cry: No - hockey over here is played by tough individuals who sometimes have a little bit of a violent streak... Oh...wait.... 'Hockey' over there is too... (Remembering one year way back in ...

Pentax K10D LCD display
I have owned my Pentax K10D for about 3 months, however today the LCD display stopped showing the picture I had just captured. Further to that none of the buttons on the back of the Camera, i.e the Menu, Info, Fn button work. Is there any way to turn the display on/off? The camera still takes phot...

My Message to a Well know DSLR Magazine
I subscribe to Outdoor Photography, because generally I like the photos and content. But I have to say recent things like this have made me consider whether the quality's there - if they're making mistakes like this with reviews, what else can I trust? Certainly not the other reviews, but news? Fe...

My Message to a Well know DSLR Magazine
I am amazed at the ineptitude of some of the reviewers in Photo magazines. Slow auto-focus..Yeah right. During my last shoot I shot over 10 Gig of images and 99 percent of the images were spot on. The model was moving very quickly under adverse lighting conditions. Tell these guys that they coul...

venus and moon
I 'attempted' to shoot the close proximity of the moon and venus last night with a pathetic result as you can see, this was the best of 'em :evil: Woz, my first attempt at night sky photography and was disappointed to see the result of this glow as shown about the moon, when it was actually at t...

venus and moon
You have to adjust the exposure manually as metering for single bright objects that size don't really work against a dark backdrop. If you had a 400-600mm focal length then the moon would cover enough of the frame for spot metering. You will have to fiddle around until you get the correct exposure. ...
