I take it you have cropped them alot when PPing? Im not a fan of that tbh, you loose alot of depth to the image.

Plus it looks like you were using quite a high shutter speed mate on the pans, so the movement isnt massive there imo, although again this might be beacuse theres no background to show if there was

Try getting more confident with slower shutter speeds, it will not only help in low light but make the pics stand out more and not look like cars are going slow/parked

you shoot them in raw jamie?

ryan i cropped them quite abit because there were marshals everywhere so most of the pics had bright orange overalls in the background wich was realy annoying. but i totaly understand where your coming from.

im realy not impressed with the 40d screen its so deceiving. i used high shutters because the scren shows my lower shutter speed images to be poor quality and i wanted some keepers from the day. the 40d screen is also realy realy dark and that annoys me so much. ive put it on its brightest setting also.

and i agree they are quite dark again my screen on the camera shows them to be even darker i was playing and learning all day and later found that upping the iso looked to help. but i havnt looked at those images yet that will come tommorow. i realy want my new lens.

cheers for the comments though all taken aboard. na wernt shot in raw either.

If the 40D screen is the same as my 30D screen i understand where you come from.

20Ds have lush screens when it comes to colours i find, just they are smaller.

I just am not a fan of not cropping to standard dimensions 5x8 for example, it doesnt give the car room to move as such.

gotamintvtr · 4th April 2009, 22:03

ok ryan ill have another look at them all tomorrow and try and put up the originals and see if they are much better. the screen is realy bad imo. my 350d had a better screen albeit abit on the small size. my mate has just got a nikon d90 as a new camera and the screens on nikons are lovely.

Shows though that you shouldnt be so reliant on the screen.

35mm work you dont get that luxury.

i had this problem shooting skate park flash work in RAW, the screen looked ok, got home they were dark as fuck.

I had the same problem until I decided to just ignore the apparent brightness (or lack of from the screen). Mate, you've got to start using the Histogram... review a pic then press the info button.

The histogram will tell you whether you're bang on, under, over exposing and highlight clipping. Also it shows you component histograms for Red, Green and Blue. Mega mega handy.... particularly as the screen is, as you've found out, total dog shit.

10D screen ftw.
