Close quarter circling- practise and comparison

I would just use active track. It is excellent for circling while maintaining the focus on the subject.

cheers SoccerRef12!
I just fancied seeing what I could do on the sticks...
Thanks for the advice!

It was a good experiment. I'm sure tripod mode makes things smoother for close in work. That was pretty tight quarters you were working in. Thanks for sharing Brian.

I did wonder how small a circle you could use with 'circle'...

Another experiment!

Practise practise practise, yep, a mantra I wish I had time for...

The fruit is Brambles! Neighbours love picking them early August. Butterflies/bees/birds all come and enjoy them... I get to photograph them all in closeup (210fps stuff was cool when my old camera worked)
busy bee @ 210fps (2009 technology...)

Thanks for sharing BrianP, it's a great hobby when practicing is half the fun! The sticks are a bit short on the Spark's controller but pinching the sticks instead of thumbing can help with precision, after some more practice of course!

cheers Dragonfly Joe! ... pity the 2009 camera is long gone... it did up to 1000 fps, but tiny resolutions
