Rig Photos

[Rattz]

just wondering how people get such good photos of their rigs in action. Everytime i try to take photos of the lights working i either get nothing from them or just motion blur.

I've just bought a Samsung GX L1 DSLR and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it properly, lol

but some pointers would be appreciated folks, cheers

short exposure, high sensitivity :) if you have a look through the manual, it will give you all the details you need to do it.

Try mounting the camera on a table to keep it still.

[Rattz]

so thats a fast shutter speed with high sensitivity, but what about the aperture setting?

can't ya tell i'm used to point and click cameras lol

[abyssdjhire]

set the camera on shutter priority and the sensitivity (iso) on one of the highest then try it. on shutter priority it will set the aperature itself

well, there is a shortage of "rig porn" on this forum, so if there's no phat racks and sexy stacks to oggle, then I'm afraid it'll have to be short skirts :teeth: :omg: :teeth:

You may want to amend a few of your posts Tony, when I tell you that was a 16th birthday party.... :omg:

Either that or specsavers :teeth:

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paul James Promotions]

As i said, try using a table or flightcase to mount the camera while taking pics. See the difference....

[Rattz]

i wonder if my monopod would work as good?

[Corabar Entertainment]

Monopod? What you got that for?

2 of the legs fell off his tripod :teeth:

[Rattz]

naw use it for when i'm shooting video for weddings and the such, comes in well handy when there is no room for a tripod, and when most of the weddings i do are catholic its very hard to hold a video camera (broadcast quality) for 1hr to 1.5hrs lol
