How to Photograph a car in a show-time scene? URGENT!!!!!!
Hey
I am heading off to a car show VERY VERY soon. I need to know what the best settings are to take a photo in that sort of environment. I have a Canon S70 (quite an advanced P&S Camera - 7 Megapixels, Av, 7 Megapixels etc, but oldish). What is generally the best way? Because normally when I've taken photos at this sort of venue I've either had it on Auto everything (with the flash on auto - but almost always going with every shot), or flash-off with ISO400 to counter the wobbles lol. I am not an experienced photographer but I have a once in a lifetime opportunity here and I really want to get a great shot! Please help me as quick as possible!!! Any little tweak. PM me if you wanna chat I have an account on pretty much every IM service there is. Thanks heaps!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Use a tripod
Keep the ISO to 200 as 400 may become pretty grainy on the Canon S70. I would set it to AV mode and keep the AV to 5.6 or above depending on the lighting conditions. to give you the optimum sharpness for the cars. Don't use flash as you don't want harsh flash spots over the car's reflective surface. Hope this helps |
