    Nice panning work there. And quite a wide selection of displacement being raced. 125 and 250 GP bikes as well as the usual production stuff.

    Great job with the riders' eyes toothumb.gif

    Hi Gsgary,

    Great work on the pan shots...especially #2. thumb.gif
    What settings were you using AF? AI Servo? Shutter?
    Whatever they were keep it up!
    Cheers,

    I think the first one's super. Love the wheel blur and the eyes, sharp bike and blurry bg, very nice indeed.

    If the helmet was in focus instead of the front wheel, that would be an amazing shot.

    Yep...they're expensive shots :cry
    The slower your shutter speed, the fewer "keepers" you'll get and the more frustration you'll encounter...but boy its all worth it when you nail them thumb.gif

    As the saying goes..."you only get what you give!"
