Been experimenting with the Movie feature on my camera. Really pleased with the results, mic picks up the sound well, touch screen focus pull is AMAZING, i just need a decent tripod for the "sweeping" shots and i will be able to make vids like a pro! Watch it and tell me what you think folks ​

60 sec expo, medium ISO and traced the car using the little red light on my phone! Got a few plans using this method, really like how they came out!

YouTube - Low flying fighter jets - Mach loop October 2010

When was that? I've been working in Corwen and have had a couple of flyovers recently

Yesterday. The Mach loop is a famous exercise yard for pretty much everything that can fly. Takes them 3 minutes to do a lap, can stand there all day and watch them go past. There were even more today, but i was back at work! They're there almost every day if visibility is acceptable

Check this one out! NOT my house by the way

Burnt my thumb doing it

Thanks buddy here are a few more. Some more sketchy ones. Were taken in night, however moon was so bright, some actually came out as if i had taken them in the day on a 60 sec expo!

Does this one work? Car was stationary, tried to make it appear as if i was driving past at speed, but been staring at it for too long to tell if it works or not!

A couple of things that don't look right The motion blur of the background doesn't follow the way the car should be going and the wheels aren't blurred in the right direction

Here's a pic of mine, no photoshopping or anything, just the picture as it came off the camera

Your car looks different there

That was from last weekend? Or last year? I didn't go this year. But yea, i couldn't get the right blur effect on the wheels (wanted a radial type blur) tried for ages but no joy. Not bad for a first attempt though eh? Only had PS CS5 for a week or two

Yeah it was last weekend

It's alright I guess

But you can see that the wheels aren't digging into the ground and like I said, the motion blur is all wrong
