In this video I talk about the techniques I use to get motion blur in my Formula One photography. I also talk about some of my favourite motion blur pictures I have taken in my time as an F1 photographer
Thanks Kym for this vid!!
Glad you liked it.
As always, outstanding images. Great talk and examples about the panning images.
Your vids are always so insightful. Thanks for the motion blurr tips!
I never ever thought an F1 photog would have even thought about carrying an ND filter. Nice spread of image results and commentary. Great video KI.
Very helpful video! Thank you for your insight, it helps up and coming photographers 😁
we're all learning from someone
Thank you! A coworker asked how photographers manage to get these photos, and now I know
1/100th is my favorite. Going to Bahrain on Saturday, thanks for the tips and pointers.
I honestly prefer watching these than watching how F1 cars are made. Definitely need a whole series on this! How you compose the pics are a documentary on its own! I tried shooting at Singapore gp but I had 35mm 2.8F and struggled with the fence lines in my pics. But oh well. Gonna try again in japan with the tips I’ve learnt from this but this time with a 70-300L 😅
At a slow enough shutter speed you only see the horizontal lines and they aren’t too distracting.
14:03 From the...
FORCE INDIA: Pick ME!
RACING POINT: It's ME NOW!
FORCE INDIA: Everyone still says FORCE INDIA!!
RACING POINT: Thats ENOUGH! You're no longer Force India.
KYM: Uh... Racing Point Car of Sergio Perez
great information thanks!
I'm hooked on your vids brosephina
Tell the world!
Thanks for sharing this video. More of such videos please.
Do the photographers prefer a monopod or a tripod with these huge telephoto lenses?
PS: Maybe a "Day in the life of F1 Photographer" type of videos will be very exciting to watch.
Anything longer than a fixed 400 mm lens would normally require a mono pod and I’ve never seen anyone use a tripod
Great video
Grazie!
Leaning with you thanks
Motion blur... no problem. The problem I have is trying to avoid it at
even a 200th on my 150-600 monopod mounted while tracking the cars, even
down at 200mm. I select 200th to show movement in the wheels hoping to
keep the car "reasonably" sharp while tracking it. Though I have not as yet used "spray
and pray," it seems logical (? )that pressing the button for each frame
is a mistake and more likely to induce camera shake. Perhaps cold
weather, inbuilt old man shake and not using VR when tripod mounted..
Hmm..?
Thanks Kym for this superb video. Do you use Nd filter ? what brand it's ? thanks .
This one is super informative, I will try this next time for sure. Just to o understand better what were the isos for china shot and Hamilton at Monaco?
Great photos Kym. I really like the Ferrari at 3:00 👏👏
Question for you: how many of those moving shots at 1/30 do you miss the focus (on the car or helmet)? Like, what is the success rate? 😊 To get a realistic target for myself. Thank you
Success rate is about 1 in 12 at 1/30th. But that’s improving with practice.
Super video Kym!!! Gives me a lot to experiment.
Also other question come to my mind; what gear do you use (most) and how much post processing do you do?
The full video goes into detail about the equipment I use and there is another video upcoming about how I edit
@@KymIllman Super!! Just saw your gear video, looking forward to your editing video!! 👍🏻
Mr. Illman, thank you for the information, what I don't see addressed is how you select the level of exposure compensation you are applying in different shots/setting. Do you use a test shot, spot metering, experience. I noticed in your data panel that you tend towards negative compensation (I assume because of the reflective nature of many tracks/walls) any tips on this aspect would be appreciated. Is there a technique to street circuits?
Great video Kym! Quick question though, are you shooting on a monopod when you are shooting at such slow shutters? I don't think I would ever be able to keep the camera steady enough to get anything sharp at that speed with anything longer than a 20mm lens.
Only use a monopod for the 600mm lens
By the way, you have quite a lot of dust on your sensor/lens :) I can see many dots when you're switching photos. But I imagine it's not possoble to edit out due to the fact that images are instantly uploaded to your cloud
Also Kym, the photos around 6:00, were those taken with ISO at 50-ish? Or what value? Thank you
Probably a bit slower. 1/30th is my guess
Can i ask the iso use auto or manual？？？
images look great Kym but your sensor if filthy
You where talking about the option to press a button to quickly change to 1/1000ths of a second. Do you know what that function is called?
You just set one of your buttons to a custom shooting set up. I use the button to the left of the shutter.
Ferrari ICM at 9m30s 👍
How do you set focus settings? I find when I pan with objects my camera likes to sometimes focus on the foreground in your case the fence and trees. Wouldn’t it be extremely difficult to pick up an f1 car in a focus point when it’s moving so fast?
My 1DXMk2 has little trouble doing it. Sometimes I pre-focus but most times its auto-focusing
Ahh gotcha that makes sense.
I notice with the shot at 13:04 that the three photographers are all using Canon (I imagine all 1DX Mark II's?), what is the breakdown of the permanent photographers with regards to gear usage - is it mainly Canon, or do the other (lessor!) brands have quite a few users?
Most use Canon or Nikon but there are a few with things like Sonys but to be honest I don’t take much notice of what they use
How do you set the IS at panning, Kym? Mode II (EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS II) or without IS?
Without is my bet.
when Ferrari actually competitive, been a long rime
Do you use back button autofocus when taking these shots
Yes
@@KymIllman cheers mate
Makes me dizzy looking at these
