Default Impromptu G35 Photoshoot ~kHahnPhotography

Just thought I'd share some pictures with you guys.
*Edit* Neither of these G's are mine.
The DG coupe is ShanesG and the IP coupe is BlackOutG. Both of these usernames are valid on G35Driver, but I don't know if either of them have accounts on My350z.

I only wish I had remembered to take my tripod with me for the panning shots.
Also wish the sky wasn't so blown out in some pictures.

Anyhow, here goes:

Thanks, guys.

That's one of my favorite shots, too, Arsh.


Volk350, the panning shots are blurry because I did those shots without a tripod.
I don't own any VR lenses, either.
I used a Nikon D80.

Not a big fan of the rolling pics at all, but the rest look great. I'm really liking the BBS's on the G too, really sets it off.

^ Thanks, guys.

Miketsi, are you not a fan of my panning pics or panning pics in general? -- I'm trying to improve, so I need specific criticism.

Thanks, Jon.

*Edited to correct what I meant*
:P

Great still photos. I'm pretty sure you just need a different lense for the rolling shots? I have no clue about cameras, but just guessing lol

I'm a big fan of rolling shots in general, yours just had a couple of things I noticed. The car is to small/far away, so the separation between the landscape and car aren't clear, as well as it just being a little blurry in general. I'm no photographer, so I feel weird giving advice. The rest of your pictures of it look awesome.

Here is a pic one of my friends took, and is what I consider an "ideal" rolling pic..

I saw a glimpse of your camera at the G meet and i thoght it was a canon. My bad lol. I personally am Nikon too so Is the D80 the camera you were using that night? Is that the only camera you own?



And for the rolling shots, you need to get into a passenger car, move at the same speed as the car your taking a pic of and snaps pics with the corresponsing shutter speed. THat's the only way to get a true "rolling shot". The panning method you used of standing on the street as cars go by isn't very effective. Good luck

^ I think you guys are somewhat confused, and I'm partly to blame since I didn't correctly identify what my shots were.

Rolling shots =/= Panning shots

Rolling shots require two vehicles. One vehicle is the subject of the photo, and the other vehicle is used by the photographer to match the speed of said subject car.

Panning shots requires one vehicle, which, obviously, is the subject of the photo. The subject vehicle drives by at a moderate speed while the photographer stays in one spot and matches the speed of the vehicle as he "pans" while snapping pictures.

Even so, I appreciate the feedback.

No worries. The D80 is the camera that I was using that night, and it is the only digital SLR I own.

I understand what rolling shots are, but these were meant to be panning shots. Clearly not perfect panning shots, haha.

No I understand these are panning shots, i'm just saying if you did a rolling shot, the whole car woudl be clear all the time. Panning shots are never perfect becuase some part of the car will almsot always be blurry. If that's what your going for, then that's chill. I just prefer rolling shots so no worries. And as you said if you wanted to keep takign panning shots, the tripod woudl help take some blur out.

Man, I'm flipping out cause I could have swore you had like a D300 or something like that

And the panning shots are not bad for not having a tripod. Practice (and equipment) makes perfect

^ For sure. That's why it's "impromptu."

I guess my camera looks bigger because it has a battery grip.

That's probably it. And I know you stated in the OP that you didn't like how the sky was so blown out but i think it looks amazing. Good job
