Small but fast
How fast are these?
It didn't help taking these shots at dusk but it was great fun to have a go. A friend of mine has just started this club (http://www.shrccc.co.uk/) so I popped along with the camera bag.
If you've tried taking photographs of fast subjects before you know it isn't easy. These things are very quick so it was very challenging. If you haven't tried, want to or want to know how here goes
Make sure the shutter speed is no less than 1/125 if you think your quick enough to pan with the subject. If your not and I certainly wasn't, get the shutter up as high as possible (1/800 and upwards)
If the light is low, you'ree going to need to try a couple of things to get this high shutter speed.
Firstly make sure the aperture is wide open, the lower the "F" number the better. I was shooting with F2.8 and my 70-200 lens mainly and I still needed to change one more setting, That was the ISO. If you are not sure on ISO its the light sensitivity. Increase the ISO and the sensor will be more sensitive to light, but be warned. If you increase to much you will lose detail, sharpness and gain "noise". If you have a modern DSLR then you can be bold and increase ISO to 4000 without really seeing any real detrimental effect.
This should give a fighting chance, but make sure you take lots of images. Of course the flash can be used, that's another subject and doesn't always save you.
