Good shot that, found out myself how hard panning is yesterday in a quick attempt at it.

Got muchos respect for those who are **** hot at it.

Very Hard indeed, fired almost 200 shots and changed different settings before i started to get some decent one.

the best thing i found was keeping the shutter speed lowish, i used between 160 and 250 for the ones i took at knockhill (there in the motorsport section)

rosario144, good work - great shot. And it's my all-time fave car

Found exactly the same thing today when shooting windsurfers at my local reservoir. Thought I'd be able to turn up, get the shot and that would be it... how wrong i was. Sports photographers have my utmost respect for working under such pressure.
