Best advice? Day time.watwah said:
Kinda... What his problem is with this picture is there isn't enough light being taken in by the lense. Using a SLR camera will do the same thing as he has now. The picture is blurry because the shutter/exposure speed is open longer than you can hold perfectly still.JDMxDB8 said:
The reason you want to use day light is there is more light everywhere. You don't have to deal with setting shutter speed. You might actually be able to speed up the shutter setting to get a crisper, more "stopped" picture.
Car speed is also your friend when it comes to day time rolling shots. With a shorter exposure time it will cause the object to "stop".
In this picture we were going 25 with a normal exposure
In this picture we were going 50 with a normal exposure
In the first picture it looks like the car is stopped almost because nothing is "moving"
In the second, the wheels and the background are "moving" to give it the rolling shot.
Give that a try with some son light and you should get a good one!

Digital SLR is basically one of those bigger cameras with lenses that costs about 1-2 grand for most people, but allows you to take much better pictures with more manual controls than your regular snapshot camera. Pictures can come out amazing after you learn what settings to use.
The same goes for a 200-500$ snapshot, but you gotta find out. Most snapshots will take good macros, daytime pics with lots of ambient light, and also can do decent rolling shots like above...Most won't perform as well in low light / aka night time without flash. Unless you manually set the exposure time and use a tripod etc...
Try setting ISO to about 400 - judge the rolling speed - and take the picture using a tripod / rest the camera on something steady - and keep doing like 10 times with different ISO setting / exposure setting to see what works best. It's a little trial and error but its worth it.
