Sorry for the newbie question.

I searched (albeit not to hard) and couldn't come up with anything.

I don't have the money for a good camera so please don't suggest that.

What's the best way to take a moving shot like this one?



Anyone got a link, or technique? Thanks

Do I take the picture from another car? or from the side of the street?

 

Ride along in another car....or try to run VERY fast

 

u need two vehicles to accomplish this task.. have a friend drive while u shoot pictures while u hang out the passenger side window.. if u have a crappy digital camera and it is a low light situation use the flash... take lots of pictures... most of them will come out fuzzy..

That's what I figured

I was wondering if their was a special technique.

 

slow shutter speed

 

wouldn't you want a higher shutter speed? A slow shutter speed would blur everything as opposed to a higher shutter speed which should capture a clearer, more instantaneous picture.

No, cause then the car wouldnt look like its moving.

 

with the slower shutter speed it allows for a better "motion" shot. the key is to make sure that both cars are moving at the same speed. that makes the pic come out with the car clear and the rest of the pic blurry.

How fast/slow do the cars need to be moving to get a decent shot?

Can they be going like......10mph?

The slower the speed, the slower the shutter speed has to be, which means it could be easier to get blurry shots due to the slow shutter speed. Go about 30-40 mph and shoot at about 1/40 and switch it around till you find the right speed and shutter speed. Its all about trial and error.

 

always was curious to know exactly how these shots were taken....especially so clean and still

 

Ahh, I see. I guess I'll have to try it out myself.
