how do you guys take a picture of the wheels rolling? i tried over the summer but it came out looking like they were not even in motion. do you have to use a slower speed to shoot the pic?
eh whatever - thanks

you have to take it from an angle, if you do it straight on its not going to work..

hm..it was on an angle though! think the slower film speed will work?
stupid high tech modern film!

you dont need slower film.... and you can take it from the side or any angle for that matter.... you have to extend the shutter time for this motion look to happen. there is a button on the camera that adjusts shutter speed.... slow this down

alright ill see if i can give that a try but honestly i dont think i have that option ryan93

i would do digital, and probably will also do digital but i like REAL pics. OLD SCHOOL!

that mustve been an old pic huh?
hardly looks like your car now
so how was that pic taken?

nadir_s

you lower your shutter speed

try taking pics at night or sunset w/ the shutter speed low.... also play around w/ the aperture setting... open it up a bit and take cooooool shots!! somethin like this hehe:

You can use the slower shutter speed to make camera lense work the way the human eye would at those speeds. If you use the faster shtter speeds, you will see the spokes on the wheel at high speeds.

Old School......sounds like me! Someday I'll get a digital camera. Sil, do you have your car back???

You must use a slower shutter speed (this will show blur action) and depending on the available light you will have to what we call "stop down" in photography (makes the aperture smaller; makes the lens smaller) allowing less light to expose the film.

Why? Slowing the shutter speed keeps the shutter open for longer allowing in more light. Most importantly [because you want blur] this also exposes the film longer. Meaning... if something is in motion... rather than taking a quick stop action snapshot when using a high shutter speed, you'd be making a longer exposure and the movement of the wheels would become blurred in the picture because the shutter is open longer. In a sense it's like capturing video on a picture. Instead of seeing movement, there is blur. Keep in mind not to set the shutter speed too low though or else the car will get blurry too.

Now, if the aperture is set too high (as someone said to open up the aperture) you will get TOO much light exposed on the film (bc we're slowing the shutter speed which already lets in more light) and the picture will be overexposed making it a really crappy image (although, if you were taking a pic in poor light conditions it would look pretty dope).

All SLR camera's tell you in some way when you have sufficient light for a picture. Sometime's it's by means of a red or green light and sometimes (old school) it's actually a needle that moves back and forth between a - and a + sign. You want to keep it in the middle to get a good image. [manual mode]

I'd take the shot at 60 (shutterspeed) and match up the aperture accordingly [if i were using a manual] to get the right exposure [light]. Most of the new SLR's are all automatic and have different priority settings you can choose. If this is the case, set the camera to Shutter Priority (SP) and you can choose your own shutter speed and the camera will do its best to automatically give you the best aperture setting.

However, it sounds like you're not using a SLR (single lens reflex) camera, so you wouldn't be able to control your shutter/aperture very much. You're SOL. Sucky.

Photography is fun.

Information overload for the point-and-shoot crowd!

The beauty of film is that you can get a decent SLR camera for a good price and be able to do lots of camera "tricks" that you otherwise couldn't do in an inexpensive digital camera.

yup erty the car is back on the road, and looks better than ever which i why it is picture time
might have to break out the real old school camera to manually set everything up.
or just simply try the "on an angle" tip
looks like we have a lot of photography knowledgable people on the org
