I have a Canon600D and i was wondering how to get the shots you created or similar shots . What lens,IOS And shutter speed i have to use to create that ? If you could help me that would be great :) !! . Megan x

Hey Megan, most of the time I use the 18-135mm lens and sometimes fisheye or 50mm. ISO wise it varies depending on how much light is available. For shutter I would say always try and use a high shutter speed to reduce motion blur, I usually try and have mine at around 1/1000 so adjust your ISO and aperture to compensate for the shutter so you get a nice bright image.

Also setting your drive mode to continuous shooting instead of single will be helpful, that way you can get some nice sequence shots like this one.

Hope this helps just experiment and get some interesting angles, would like to see some of the results if possible. If you have any more questions feel free to drop me a message either on here or onĀ facebook.
