dbsf1 01-15-2009, 05:45 PM 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 :biggrin: 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!!!!!!!!!!!! DORIFT 01-15-2009, 08:48 PM 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 dbsf1 01-16-2009, 01:45 AM thankyou very much. i am afraid i had already left and did not recieve your reply in time to put in place your suggestions - altho next time I will know exactly what to do! - Thankyou :smile: 09WNS/14BRK 03-28-2009, 08:15 PM depends on the lighting too just have to play with it till yet get the result you want outdoor shows are better then indoor these where done with a normal sony digi camera from a auto salon in 2006 http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Pictures16079.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Pictures16162.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Pictures16212.jpg 09WNS/14BRK 03-28-2009, 08:25 PM here are some from a outdoor event with the same camera too http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Speed%20on%20The%20Tweed%2007/DSC00094.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Speed%20on%20The%20Tweed%2007/DSC00109.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Speed%20on%20The%20Tweed%2007/DSC00114.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Speed%20on%20The%20Tweed%2007/DSC00136.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/ENLYKS/Car%20Shows/Speed%20on%20The%20Tweed%2007/DSC00137.jpg AutomotiveHelper.com, Copyright ©2013
