Use the widest aperture possible and set your ISO to a relatively high ISO that will still give you a good quality. Then shoot at the fastest speed you can while getting a proper exposure. Pan and fire with the motion of the car to get some really nice shots. Good luck =o) Peace
Hi I have a very …
Hi I have a very basic camera A nikon D3100 with a 3x 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Image Stabilization Lens im going to the bristol tn night nqascar race what settings would you recommend to start at to get freeze action shots on moving cars I have only had the camera less then a week and would love to have a good chance of getting some beautiful stop motion shots of the moving cars, I know that I really should have alot better lens but purchasing a new lens at this time love your teaching style
Great tutorial. …
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks alot, this …
Thanks alot, this is great! After this video I’m left with a question though. When you use big aperture, as for instance your boxing picture with f/1,8, to compensate for the light you lose by using high shutter speed, will you not be bothered by the depth of field? The focus range will be very short, and even if your autofocus does its job, lots of the subject will still be blurry with such a low aperture? Getting a sharp action picture, with that low aperture seems impossible to me.
I love your videos …
I love your videos 🙂 they have helped me a lot! 😀 I just have one question, for example: when taking a photo of a fast horse, I use manual focus right?
Because since it happens sooo fast my camera wont focus I guess, Am I right or what shold I do?
How about if I want …
How about if I want to freeze a movement far away, but my aperture is 3.5 (in order to capture the moment sharp) and therefore gives a short depth of field?

There is alot of great information here. I am deffinetly going to subscribe and watch the rest of your videos. Ive been wanting to buy a new camera for a while now but due to my lack of knowledge am a little scared to shell out the cash. I found this video looking for action shots of different cameras. I am looking for a camera that will be able to take action shots like this (motocross/sports) but don’t really know what i need. Any tips, or know where to find more information.
Love your work …
Love your work buddy. I have just sat down and watched the first 10 tutorials straight! Extremely helpful. I’m looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow night. I’m not sure if you really wanted to everyone’s photos, but if you have a sec, check ’em out… OK it wont let me link! Take a look at the ‘website’ link on my channel =)
PS: you rock! Thanks so much for sharing
I normally only …
I normally only adjust my ISO from the lowest possible (100) when it is a necessity so I guess it would always remain 3rd on the list. If I am looking to freeze action or make it blur I know I must prioritize my shutter speed. If I am looking for a certain depth of field I would have to put my aperture first.
I hope this helps =o) Peace
these vidoes have …
these vidoes have been extremely helpful. You mentioned that for action shots, you’ll select your desired shutter speed, then set the appropriate aperture, then adjust ISO. I may be thinking too much into this, but I’m trying to see if there’s a basic order of steps to follow for setting up any type of shot, be it action, portrait, micro etc. Would you consider these to be the first 3 steps of setting up your shots, and then perhaps setting the white balance, then metering…what’s ur process?
man, you totally …

You got it. You will definitely need a tripod for this. Good luck
hey Man, thanks for …
hey Man, thanks for all the Videos , I am watching these in Taiwan. I am question, increasing aperture will add depth of field , so If I want to make a night photograph of a night view I want everything to be on focus , so what I do is reduce aperture to around f10 , keep ISO at 100 and use a longer shutter speed like 15seconds , is this the right approach ??? I am using a Canon 500D
million thanks …
million thanks again…shutter speed was a complete blur to me…but after i watched your video for a few times…i finally got it…I can’t find my words to thank you….
