Near to 1500++ Shutters for about 400++ non-blur pictures... Need more panning practice.. Would've taken more, since my camera's battery was at a measly 40% or 2 bars at the time.. Not bad for lasting 1500++ burst shutter!
The first part of the drift, until about picture #29, was using the 18-105mm VR, thinking that the VR would help in panning. But, the narrow aperture didn't help in noise performance, forcing me to push it up to ISO 3200 in Auto-ISO, with the min shutter speed set as 1/15.
After the pic #30, was using the 50mm f1.8, got closer to the scene (by a 2 footsteps, fyi) and panned away! Low noise and greater action. ISO was less than 1600 for almost all of the pics, averaging about ISO 800+-
Most of the time, Shutter Speed was at 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, in shutter priority mode.
What I learned? Need practice in panning, use the faster f1.8 lens, and next time should set the image file as either MEDIUM or SMALL Size with BASIC or NORMAL JPEG file compression for more BURST shutter. When using LARGE and FINE, buffer is just a measly 13 files.. =.=
Well worth the RM5.00 for giving me the opportunity to watch such great drifting, since I'm able to get quite close to the scene, allowing me to use the 50mm for great shots.
The light/sun stars from the car headlights are cause by the lens, 7 straight aperture blades creates stunning 14 pointed stars.
BTW, the whole place smells of burnt rubber! =)
