Yeah instead of using Shutter Priority you could try Aperture Priority and close the shutter to give you more DOF

and since its closed more it will give blurry background panning shots (depending on amount of light and ISO)

ive never really tried this - I always use shutter priority when panning

he was using f22.

holy crap he did too - thats crazy talk - you dont need it that small to get a car in focus..

focus problems were probably due to slow shutter speed then!

he was using f22.

i dont think you did to bad considering they were taken at 1/40th of a second. maybe start at 100th and work your way down from there. although im no pro so take that with a grain of salt.

user error then?

[Sl!m]

like I said, first time haha

[siddr20]

Yeah, I probably should... lol

I wanted to show how big it was

HELL YEA!!! I remember watchin a youtube video of this.. Puts my tank to shame hahah..

Cant believe you got the chance to see it first hand.. SO SO SO SO JEALOUS!!!

[siddr20]

sometimes on a bright sunny day you will most likely have to use f22 for those panning shots..

I think you did well for 1st attempt sam.. Keep at it..

Heres on at 1/40th (from memory).. and yea hard to get the whole car in focus..

Yeah the video is what made me want to go, it was a lot of travel from Tokyo itself though, but I think it was well worth it!

It was amazing to see in real life, when I walked into the room with the big tank, my jaw literally dropped.

My jaw just dropped when watching the video!!

I would love to my next marine tank that big

For now my 4ft marine tank is good enough hahaha.. But seriously just watching it in real life would be an incredible experience!!

I hate you
