Can. You just have to play with your shutter and aperture to get the desired effect. If your running subject is too far away then you might want a lens with a bigger zoom. But play with this first.

So how? Took some pix already?

I went to Cathay photo, they quoted $899 for nikon d3100.but they also recommended Sony alpha series, saying that Sony is now making better DSLR wor...price wise is quite competitive...and alpha can take full HD video leh...


Any comments?? :?

Use aperture priority if you're not familiar with full manual. Make sure you focus on the subject. You should be able to get the shot.
