Is there any FZ series user into fashion runway shot?

[rapier84]

i notice there is a drop of quality once i "upload" to photobucket... mmm.... bit more noise...

Online photo sharing sites often apply their own compression algorithmns to minimize storage space on their servers, thats why they appear 'worse' than it orginally is

is it bcos when u zoom in, f becomes 3. something n shutter speed has to increase?
cant use higher iso cos of noise?

I think TS is using FZ20, so its 2.8 constant...I'm more inclined to think its the lighting thats insufficient since I too was there just now...:think:

then i supposed it is the very challenging lighting conditions...

so how to overcome this?


i hv difficulty shooting at the motor show last year even when the models/actions were much slower...

how is the photo..? accpetable?

at those condition i will most probably bump up to ISO200 and use flash with slow shutter speed... some blur, but a few good one is enough to justify.

Nice shots actually, I like the composition of the shots. I think you were on the left side of the stage if I am not mistaken judging from the angles. The slow shutter speeds (I hadn't seen the image info,this is just a guess) results in some motion blur and the ISO seems to be causing some noise.
Anyway, here's one of mine from the same show;p ... I was using a flash unit so the ISO can be held reasonably low.

Just curious - What about Focusing? If the model keeps moving, do you guys have any problem locking focus, especially when the lighting is not so ideal?

:think: I believe it is more due to the jpg compression when you save after resize... as far as I have been using photobucket, it doesn't resize my image or even throw away my EXIF tho some of them are 400KB.

you might want to do a resize again and save them at lower compression before uploading.

Its quite problematic for the night events where the basic lighting is often not enough. On my FZ50 I have the option of using AF-C, so try to just track the models and hopefully the AF gets a good lock when I press the shutter. Quite hit and miss thing really.:embrass:

Go to the Menu, look for the Cont.AF item after the AF Mode menu,
