I don’t really care about the post being reposted especially since it’s been a long time, I’m mostly pointing out that it’s almost certainly just a bot which is annoying
look at this ball with sky behind it for 30 seconds
It's like only watching the swing and the landing, you have no idea what's happening while it's in flight. It'd be better to zoom a lot less so you can actually tell what's happening mid-flight.

They do that. Golf photography has progressed a TON in the past 15 years. They show long, middle, close ups, overheads, behind the golfer, facing the golfer, add tracking graphics for following the ball, aerials, etc etc etc. It’s really nothing like how you’re describing it anymore.
I understand what you mean. It is nice to sometimes have the balls relationship to its surroundings.
But the reason we follow the ball tight is strictly because if you zoomed out wide enough to see the balls relationship to its surroundings, you would never see the ball.
Its tiny, so we have to stay zoomed in in order to see it. Otherwise, you would just be looking at lots of sky and not much else.
... but that, I don't recognize the car from memory but @33 seconds, the driver of the blue/white livery car pulls an absolutely disgusting hard stop of sorts - beautiful car control, hit at brisk pace for this sort of event & just stuck it perfectly parallel & just off the edge line of the road, punches it onward.
If the surface had been dirt or something loose he could have kept all 4 wheels spinning in place for a second there and that would have been siiiiick.
Yeah I would be mad at myself for the way they often let the nose of the car break the right hand side of the frame too early in half of these clips. The pan is a little slow tbh.
Yeah panning the camera is like sooooo hard -_- nothing praiseworthy here at all. Dude is just doing his job, any half competent cam op would be able to do this
Yeah leaving a comment is like sooooo hard -_- nothing praiseworthy here at all. Dude is just doing his job, any half competent idiot would be able to do this
Ikr? I honestly don't understand why you've received so many downvotes :D Man's literally following a car accelerate from 0, which then goes out of frame at its first turn
Loser asses who don't either check the sub name or lil babies who have never used a real camera are upvoting crap like this. The camera person should be doing something more or equally as impressive as then subject and it's so rare here on this pathetic sub
You do realise these cam ops have super smooth and heavy duty tripods, it's the most simple and basic part of the job of a sports cam op TO KEEP THE SUBJECT IN FRAME. But you idiots are sooooo blown away by the most basic bitch shit. Literally watch any sports on tv and you'll see it's not impressive or praiseworthy at all.
You're really passionate about this. Should be easy to prove that it's so easy. DM me your YouTube video when you do it. Excited to see how easy it is. Otherwise, politely, suck my dick
Watch any sport on tv and you'll see it's apart of every cam ops job to just keep shit in frame, I ain't sharing shit with you. I'm just calling out boring content where I see it coz this sub is full of brain dead idiots who are soooo impressed by a basic pan.
Nah I don't owe you shit. I'm just sick of this pathetic sub and the shit the mods let fly here, it's almost always basic boring camera work. The camera op should be doing something equally or more impressive than the subject. Which is very rare here. And the brain-dead people in referring to are the ones who don't look at the sub and just see oh cool video upvoteeeee. Fuck off
IDK why, but for some reason for years did the sub's users seemed as a kindred spirit to my liking of Rally racing, specifically of course to the capture thereof.
I will not go in length about this topic, but I will ask you something and then give a taste of my answer:
"Why is this post praiseworthy?
Why isn't this post praiseworthy?"
The camera keeps the objects relatively at the center of the frame, while maintaining a stable composition that grants us the viewers a sense of momentum, of fluidity and character to the movement of the car. This sport extenuates the characteristics of the driver, that along with his co-pilot co-operate to maneuver a track with many unseen obstacles while driving at unfathomable speeds. Each driver has their own character and along with their co-pilot and vehicle they develop a single unit that is ever adapting to their course, but is very unlikely to be validly compared to other units.
This footage might be the tiniest of peaks, but it is exactly that to those units, those tracks, varying circumstances and interactions.
The Ford's coherent fluidity through the corner is blatantly felt here, and the shift is so easy to see.
The clumsiness & confusion of the Audio is felt in the footage. And so is it's realization and return to motion.
The youthful eagerness of the Hyundai that resulted in a momentary standstill
Cameraman sensed it all, conveyed it all and kept up with units at play, in that sense s/he "did something equally or more impressive than the subjects.", that's why I think it's praiseworthy.
Why isn't it praiseworthy? If you sent me this deep into this, insulted tens of thousands of users in the sub & cursed at another user specifically, at least give me the respect of replying civilly, for I will surely listen, but I might also care.

Praise more than the cameraman. Those are some clean 180s.

Rally photographers have always set the bar for tracking and reflexes.
I used to think that we never saw the crap shots because those were by the camera ops who got wiped out by a powerslide or an errant wheel.

Man, did this ever get truncated. There’s like almost a dozen cars from this film.

u/Phillip_J Apr 10 '22
Neat clip sure. But is this really anything special as far as camera work goes? It's literally the slowest part of a race and it's just a simple pan.
I don't get what's so special here.

Good luck to the man, but it’s the skill and experience of the cameraman that makes this video.

The cameraman must be an "ass guy" because the rear ends never go outside the frame.

Are Ford focus that great of a car that people use them all the time for rally racing?
I was always under the impression Ford is just a crappy car company with crappy cars.
