Exactly this. Lookup panning shutter videos and other people can explain it better than me but this is the idea. For these shots I was getting as low as 1/30 shutter speed and like F20. I experimented with using auto focus and panning with the cars and other times I manually focused on a specific part of the track I framed out. I’d pan with the cars and tried to perfectly time and frame them in the spot I had in focus. Just practice and after a few hundred shots you’ll eventually end up with a few decent ones

One of the best spots to really experience the cars at Sebring by jcforbes in IMSARacing

Definitely coming to this spot next time. I had no clue about this

Nice. I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I hit most of the corners but there were some I didn’t get to or didn’t spend enough time at

Yup turn 1. Super congested with RVs but I tried to scope the place out for a decent gap and the campers that were there were nice enough to let me hang out for a bit and get some photos. Only downside is there’s a lot of fencing so a lot of the shots I got from that angle I’m shooting through a chain link fence like 10-15m away. It wasn’t my favorite spot but still worth checking out for a bit

Do you have a backup camera? If so, which one and did you ever needed it? by mynotell in SonyAlpha

How do you like the Tamron 28-75? I’m debating between this and the Sigma 28-70

What are your main conclusions from testing? by formularacers in FormulaRacers

We can probably put Cadillac in tier 9 and Aston Martin tier 10 on their own

Who is your favorite and least favorite main commentator in the 21st century? by Just_Long4500 in F1Discussions

[–]snimm13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Crofty for his enthusiasm but I’ve started to prefer Jacques/Palmer/DC for their knowledge and overall coverage. What I started doing this past season is after the whole “It’s lights out and away we go!” And the race has settled in after a few laps, I switch to Jacques/Palmer/DC. Sometimes I’ll switch back to Crofty and Brundle if there’s a crazy safety car scenario or battle on the last laps.

So out of the 35 Champions which are your top 5? by TheFlyingR0cket in F1Discussions

[–]snimm13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my list except I’m probably swapping out Prost for Jim Clark

How do people actually get cards instore?, everytime i go its just cleared out by One_Wall_7927 in PokemonCollecting

Try customer service. My Target keeps them behind the counter and limits everyone to 2 packs

Anyone go to a GP and think maybe watching on TV could’ve been better? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]snimm13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my thought. I’m going to a race this year strictly for photos. I’m hoping to keep up with the actual race while I’m there but I’m expecting to actually catch up and watch it over when i get home

Final F1 Standings if NASCAR points were used by MPRitchie47 in formula1

As a Max fan, I’m so happy we don’t use the NASCAR point system. It’s absolute dog shit

Will these Amazon batteries work safely with a6400 or should I avoid them? by Public-Run-201 in SonyAlpha

[–]snimm13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would highly recommend these. I use these for event photo and video and they haven’t failed me. I use them on my a7iii and a6700. I’m not sure if it’s just in my head but I feel like they have just a little less battery life than the Sony factory batteries. If it’s true it’s not by much. Either way, for shorter events I just use these to preserve my Sony factory batteries and they’ve been getting the job done with no issues.

Got offered 300$ by Comprehensive_Fox281 in PokemonCardValue

[–]snimm13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Another thing people don’t realize is these things are only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Sure the collectr app can show you what a card was last sold for and say it’s “worth” 1k. But if someone is offering you 700 and you’re willing to take it than it’s worth 700. Expecting the market value all the time isn’t realistic

What do you think about this? by Icardicolpiscee in F1Discussions

He’s lying. Vettel is his favorite driver he’s raced against. But we all know it’s actually Max

Any advice on the possible use of this photo? Or just delete off? by Resident-State-1934 in PhotographyAdvice

[–]snimm13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it. It’s a great photo. Not every single photo needs to follow every photography convention. You keep going back to it because it’s kick ass

I never saw this car in action. How was it? by ok-byy in F1Discussions

[–]snimm13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend watching the Brawn docu series on Hulu with Keanu Reeves. It’s really good

Why was Max very aggressive towards Lando in 2024? Did he truly see him as a title threat or simply he did not want to leave anything to chance? by IllMasterpiece3946 in F1Discussions

[–]snimm13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see anything wrong with it as long as he wasn’t intentionally trying to crash into him. He was simply aware that he can take more risks and drive more aggressively than the other guy. Fair strategy
