Re: Panning at Car Rally
Thanks once again for the continuing sound advice which you are giving me. I really do appreciate it. However, following Ben's suggestion of getting out and photographing cars on the road I did just that and I went to a wide open junction on a busy A75 road where the traffic was travelling at 60mph. I rattled off a 4gb,… -
Re: Panning at Car Rally
For cars on the freeway, 1/160 might be good. You really seem a little hesitant to make the jump up a few stops. If you are filling (2) 4gb cards, try 160, 200, 250 and 300. I shot heavily for 2 years, afraid to even try ISO 800 at an indoor race, and once I did it wasn't that bad. this 1/250. And yes your panning is a lot… -

Re: Panning at Car Rally
Thanks James for replying. Yes you are right I was thinking I would get less blur if I went higher than 1/160. When I went below 1/160 I found that the blur in the background became much stronger.

Re: Panning at Car Rally
Looks like you are getting the hang of it there, Bob! The Jag in the first shot is a little blurry, but the rest look pretty good! You can see that even at 1/160, you still get a pleasant blur on the wheels and the background. Certainly practice at other speeds, but I don't know that you really need to go much below that.… -
Re: Panning at Car Rally
The rain has been so bad today so I never got out for my practice. I was going to try my Canon 17-55 2.8 today because I just may have to use this lens on Saturday as there are trees very close on each side of the track and I will be too close for the 70-200. I was wondering if I would get the same result with this lens at…
