35mm Shots??

[Modo]

Has anyone here toyed around with taking tank pics with a 35mm?

I used to mess around with photography in college and got my camera out the other day. Just wondering what kind of luck any of you had had. Any hints or tricks?

I know it can done because I have seen some great pics of tanks that are copyrighted before the onslaught of digital.

I have a old Canon AE1 took pictures this weekend used 200 speed film turned shutter speed to about 15 or 30 speed and hold steady. Only problem is Yellow Tang is a blurr in every shot he's quick

See my post on the Manarin eating formula one- I went on a bit about my success using a flash with my macro lense, no glare, excellent photos.

If you go digital- get a 3 megapixel.

Still, if you have a single-lense reflex camera and a good lense, get a flash with a pedicle as I noted and your results will exceed digital.

It can be done... really depends on camera you have as to what to do. I do things the American way, which is no direction, just try until you get it right... so far so good. Use a tripod. That is the only thing I can offer, mess around with your shutter speed for different subjects. - perc

I have a Nikon N-70 SLR. i havent tried it yet, but im sure it would take good photos being set on "auto" mode with no flash.
