The thing is Dunc - even as a point and shooter you'll get fantastic results with these DSLRs. I'm certainly learning the settings and I know what I have to do with a composition to get it "creatively composed". I'm no David Bailley quite yet, but I'm doing alright.

Although the 40 pictures I took of a red Squirrel at Loch Garten on Tuesday have turned out utterly PISH! :rotfl:

that`ll be the same as the 200 or so i took at time attack then :rotfl:

ive always left my camera on the same settings and ended up with some decent photos, i decided to "experiment" with different settings for T/A and made an ar$e of the lot lol, ophh well live and learn i suppose :-)

At least you are learning all the time that way though! You should put a few up on flickr and get some comments, you can tell a lot just looking at the actual pics and I am sure most of the guys here will help. If you wanted to meet up sometime we can do and try and work it out for you?

What modes are you using Dunc? For the panning stuff I just shove mine into Tv (shuttery priority), dial up a number that I'm feeling good with then start snapping in burst mode with the auto focus set to servo.

I was using 1/160 and 1/200 for a lot of my panning shots.

was told to use 'M' mode with a ISO of 800(ish) and shutter speed of 100(ish) for panning shots

it didnt work!

Yeah, the ISO is way too high for outdoor pics! I had a look at that Tein car pic and you can see that it has a lot of digital noise (grainy), a sure indication of too high an ISO setting, that and the huge over exposure! :rotfl:

Even if you were using 800 (too high!) and a speed of 100 (workable) you still need to constantly adjust the aperture for the light conditions. Were you doing this?

I cannot recommend the book "Understanding Exposure" highly enough if you want some help. I've read it about 5 times through now.

Thats a cracking looking car - who owns it?

Mark......you stood beside it for 9 hours at Knockhill ..did you have your eyes closed mate..... :rotfl:

Stick it on 'S' Dunc, or whatever your canon uses for shutter priority and set the shutter speed to about 200 and start panning.Check how they are coming out then work your way down to a slower speed until they come out crap then turn it back up again! hows that for a professional explanation :rotfl:

If you can get great panning shots at 100th/sec your doing bloody well!

ISO 800 on a bright day? no wonder they didnt come out! I have my ISO on auto the whole time trackside.

It's "Tv". Which stands for ..... "Timing Value". Which means you set the timing and it does the rest.

do the 350D`s have a auto value for 'ISO'??

Nope, fraid not :driving:

If you set your shutter speed and the camera can't open the aperture wide enough to accommodate then it will flash the f-number at you when it meters. Best to just keep an eye on what aperture its using and adjust the iso accordingly.

Just to echo everyone else :thumbup: iso800 is too high for normal daylight use (especially if your looking at using shutter speeds like 1/200)

Cheers.
