Quick one regarding which lens for car to car rolling shots.

[LowlifeDubber]

Yeah i tried cropping it but it kept cutting the rear end of the car off

Thanks for the advice though.

Rotate the pic so pillar is vertical and then crop car will be angled nose down but better than current??

What you using to lift the colour? LR? If so try fill light to lift without over exposing. Depends if shot in raw.

Thanks mate i will have a play with that later.Never thought of rotating it.Yeah im using LR so will have a play with the light fill too.
Next time i will be taking rolling shots in will be in a standard car methinks.

Why do you think Top Gear use soft-roaders with nice gentle suspension to film rolling shots on public roads ?
They seem to use either Range Rovers or Lexus hybrid SUVs for camera vehicles.

Ive only just realised that!Yeah when you see glimpses of the chase cars etc with the cameras hanging out the back they are all off roaders like you say.
Although the missus already complains on how much i spend on camera gear so if i came home with a new range rover she might go tits!

They will also have a steady-cam kit for the camera so reduce vibrations further.

Another option to try might be to use live-view on your camera so you don't have your eye to the viewfinder and can use your arms to absorb the bounces a bit and put your camera into burst mode so you can shoot 4 or 5 shots in quick succession, that way you are more likely to get one a) in focus and b) with the car where you want it.
