To me,<br> it captures the energy of the car as it glides through the air._\n_ \n\n# Subaru WRX STI in Flight\n\nhttps:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2016\/09\/18\/S0555593cbd72.jpg\n_Subaru WRX STI in Flight: 1\/8000s; f2.2; ISO 400_\n\n---\n\n**Camera:** Fujifilm X20 (compact digital)\n**Settings:** 1\/8000s; f2.2; ISO 400\nLevels tweaked in Photoshop\n\n---\n\n## They might be mini,<br> but they certainly are mighty!\n\nYes ladies & gentlemen,<br> I waited until my 2 year old was in bed until I raided his hotwheels cars and built a jump ramp! I tried out all of his cars,<br> and this Subaru handled the jump the best,<br> or most consistently\/controllably anyway. (some heavier ones went further & higher,<br> but with the indoor lighting,<br> and compact camera with terrible high ISO,<br> slower jumps were easier to catch with the camera.) \n\n## The process:\n\nI made a little launch ramp from a couple of pieces of cardboard,<br> a little plastic piece of packaging & a paper clip. Then I had to bribed my 12 year old to launch the cars off the ramp.\n\nI set the camera to it's highest frames per second setting,<br> which is apparently 12fps (but seems like it's closer to 3 or 4fps) and got down low,<br> holding down on the shutter to catch a burst of shots as the cars were launched off the ramp.\n\nI tried a few different angles,<br> and over about 45 minutes and many many launches & miss-launches,<br> managed to capture a few shots where the car was in frame,<br> and almost entirely in focus. Unfortunatly shooting on the Fujifilm X20 at over ISO 100 produces terrible results. It's really a terrible camera... It does have manual that are close to an old film camera (which is why it caught my eye),<br> but all round it's been a disappointing purchase... Maybe there's another article in that...\n\nhttps:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2016\/09\/18\/S0625647ad392.jpg\n_Subaru WRX STI in Flight: 1\/2500s; f2.0; ISO 2000_\n\n---\n\n**Camera:** Fujifilm X20 (compact digital)\n**Settings:** 1\/2500s; f2.0; ISO 2000\nCropped and levels tweaked in Photoshop\n\n---",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"steemitphotochallenge\",<br>\"photography\",<br>\"art\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2016\/09\/18\/S0555593cbd72.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/www.steemimg.com\/images\/2016\/09\/18\/S0625647ad392.jpg\" " | | vote | "voter":"azurejasper",
