Discuss. That is all.

the guy took photos of my car on the track last weekend didn't get any of the wheels spinning like yours..it looked like the car was just parked on random spots of the track

what did you do different?

how about sizing the images like your supposed to. dur dee dur.

longer exposure (panning)

lol nice watermark

funny story behind that, tell you later as to not hijack mr. matt's return thread

Dude's shutter speed was too high. He's probably a n00b.

Sweet spot to mount the gopro

I have nothing to discuss.

ding ding ding.

noob sauce or... he could be a traditional sports photographer, in which case, he probably thinks a faster shutter speed and a fast aperture to freeze the action is best.

Matt, did you put a sharpening mask on the pic? Scaled down at 1024 it looks over sharpened (bg), but at 1600px it looks fine.

That has very little to do with the photo and very much to do with the browser's image scaling.

I used to go out and practice panning across the street from my house and sometimes at places like Pavilions. Took some fairly extreme photos at Pavilions, but apparently never put them on my site. Oh well. Wouldn't have the EXIF data uploaded anyway.

weird, none of my pics do that. but maybe it's because he posted at 1600px?

Refer to Brad and Andys posts.

I'm way too cool, and far too pretty, to follow rules. Does it resize for you? My browsers all automagically resize it to fit within the confines of the forum, while giving an option to view it at 1600px.

That guy probably sucks. Between the watermark, and the lack of motion. I used to suck, but I had the desire to be awesome. I think I almost got there... Some day I hope to be amazing.

Let's be friends.

Any photographer who's worth their salt would know that you want to capture MOTION in motorsports photography, and would adjust shutter speed to accomodate for that. I understand that he may not be good at it... that's part of learning.

And yes, I did sharpen this. I sharpen everything.

Like Pat said, your browser is scaling the image down and doing the best it can to make it look good. This is semi-related to the fact that you should always resize before sharpening. Are you using Lightroom or Jotoshop?

I only use photoshop... and I mask all of my sharpness into the image.

makes more sense now.

yes it resized for me, i was just giving you shit :)
