Beatiful panning mate. Beatifull detail in focus. Keep it going.

Thanks very much Cristi for looking and commenting. Glad you like the photo. Kind regards, Neil

Gracias por comentar y clasificar esto y mis otras fotos recientes. Un cordial saludo, Julio.

Great capture of this panned shot. Is that a reflection by the side of the road?

Thanks very much for looking and commenting Kah. The blue and white at the side of the track isn't a reflection but the beginning of the track marking coming into the corner. Kind regards, Neil

Just great! Can you share ISO F-stop & shutter speed? I'm going to be doing my first auto race photos next weekend and could use the advice. Thanks for such a great shot.

 

 

Thanks very much for looking and commenting. This one was taken at 1/125th, f16, 210mm handheld and ISO400. I tried shutter speeds from 1/60 up to 1/125 on various panning shots during the day but found that at 1/80 and lower the cars weren't acceptably sharp. Although I have photographed motorbike racing several times this was my first attempt at car racing. In both these sports I find my number of "keepers" pretty low, mainly due to autofocus problems. All the best with your track photography. I look forward to seeing some shots on Photo.net. Kind regards, Neil
