February 16, 200917 yr Slr is great ! the problem with panning shots half of mine are bad, but the ones that are nice are soo much better than a static high shutter speed picture. I allways take lots and have my laptop to dump if the cards are full.
February 16, 200917 yr Author I agree, the slower shutter speed does offer better results, the down side so far is that I suffer a lot of out of focus images. Panning works well if the timing is right. I also use a single focus point setting which I find helps a lot. Trouble is, if a bike is going away or towards you, you need the higher shutter speed and AI focusing, which then dumbs down the real movement in the shot.

February 16, 200917 yr Author I would love to get the opportunity to take up professional motorcycle sports events photography.........then the fall from the chair just woke me up. What did i say?
February 16, 200917 yr Author that's about all there is about making a great shot i've been trying since the eighties and i'm still not happy with the results and know guys who do amazing shots all day that started a few years ago ... Well in that case I take your comments as a compliment Ed. Thank you.
February 16, 200917 yr Another way to infer movement is to let the subject come to you as in the image of Donna Fox below. Prefocus on a spot and hit the button at the right time I also find that really tight close ups give you that feeling of movement as well...pic 2 Michele Bosi Edited February 16, 200917 yr by Slapshot 3

February 19, 200917 yr Nice one Russ, you seem to have captured the atmosphere of being at a trial at 'grass-roots' level (excuse the pun).
