Slot Car Photography

Well done PhotoEmber. Nice fluid movement with crisp lines. I haven't managed to get the knack yet. I keep getting blurring on the extremes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do you move the camera or simply refocus as you proceed down the line of the car?

Just refocus the camera. The strip I posted is a comparison of the 5 images that made up the final one.

I've only been attempting the process fairly recently myself. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Just stunning.

I admire the skills. I don't do that well although I try a little harder every time. :)

What version of Photoshop are you using Ember?

[Ember]

Currently CS6. I had to upgrade recently so I could use the new version of Eye Candy.

Thanks. I am still hanging with 5.0 but have 7.0 too.

You folks sure know your stuff. Dave and James have helped me a great deal, just need to get my settings set on the camera. White balance seems to change all too often.

That's one of the many reasons I'd like a new camera. I'd like to have PC control. It would make so many things easier.

But those photos are fabulous.

It just keeps getting better. The inside out view is fantastic. So real.
