    Hi – because for this shot it’s easier to control the camera from the front. If I had put the camera on the back then I’d have pushed the car forwards. – Cheers… Mike

    Hello. My suggestion is to go for it, since you’ve already though about it in the first place. Better it, than getting an entry-level one, only to upgrade later on. Nothing against the entry-levels, and in fact I began with an entry-level too, but nowadays, there really isn’t much distinction between entry-levels and semi-pros, unlike a few years back.

    Like this 60d. The 600d or the 650d is essentially just a smaller 60d, literally.

    Hi , First of all , great thanks for all the compilations, there are really awesome.

    I have one query , i am planning to buy canon 60D as an entry level DSLR. is this the right decision. >>> What are the other good options in this category apart from 60D .

    How do photograph car in motion when you are in the grandstands of a race for example and you want to capture the cars driving by?

    You need to go to custom functions and enable it.
    Temporarily, live view mode will also help. It too has the mirror locked up for the sensor to be exposed for live view.

    Hi – it is a small Nikon one with soft rubber feet so it won’t scratch the paint or slip. I think it was a promotional item which I picked up in a second hand shop. Any small tripod will do provided it has the feet and is sturdy so it won’t vibrate when you push the car.

    Thx for your efforts teaching us photography,sir. My ask you question ? What was the tripod you used ?

    If your camera (any camera, not just Canon) doesn’t have the mirror lock up function but has live view, then use live view. The mirror will lock up when you start live view.

    Hi – can’t give you a technical answer, but having used both I find the Lee filters capture more detail and have smoother tones than the Cokins. They are tougher too so they don’t scratch as easily. Hope this helps…

    what makes lee filters better then cokin? please answer!
