hi all im sat here scratching my head wondering how people have managed to get photo shots of their car spitting flames

when my car back-fires i rewind so i can take a picture but the back-fire isnt there anymore :/

only way i can do it is keep pressing pause when changing gear hoping i catch it 💡

if you could put me out this misery id be very thankful

Thanks,

Any flames I have caught on camera were pure luck, not sure if there is a surefire way but more than likely it is by chance or photoshop.

Yeah every time ive caught one "By keep pressing pause after changing gear" its looked like a white blur

other peoples ive come across have got the flame in detail :/ lol
so yeah maybe photoshop :|

Thanks anyway Mate 👍

Yeah its just luck and unfortunately the exposure length captures it as a moving object so unfortunately it just looks like a white streak. FM4 is better and more flame like but also suffers from the stretched flame in long exposure.

have you tried using automatic gears? so your not switching gears and trying to push pause at the same time?

Use the rewind/watch replay trick with shutter speed set to 0 and it possible to get flame pics like this
