Panned photos
July 16th, 2008 Peter Korkala
I tried an interesting technique with my new camera today: panning.
My old camera was too slow to manage this, but the EOS 450 is able to take 3.5 photos/sec and that’s really good. A lot of the photos were blurred all over, but some of them were pretty good (photos linked from my Swedish blog):
1/80, F11, ISO200, 25 mm
The same photo, but I cropped it down a bit:
Another one:
1/80, F7.1, ISO200, 51 mm
And the last one for today:
1/125, F7.1, ISO200, 42 mm.
I almost filled up my 2 GB card today - lucky me that I ordered a 8 GB SDHC yesterday! The files are very big, between 15-20 MB each (I’m saving them in RAW-format), and my 2 GB card can only hold around 120 photos. The new 8 GB card can hold between 550 and 600 RAW-photos, and with the 2 GB card as a backup in my (new!) photobag I think it’ll be enough - but you’ll never know…
I have a lot to learn about the camera, but it’s very fun! And I love the thought of getting additional lenses some day. I would love to have a 300 mm zoom lens, and a wide angle lens (maybe 10-15 mm). And then I would like to have a very light sensitive lens to take photos of the moon and the stars, but they’re very expensive.
