[quote][i]Originally posted by andy1868[/i] Nathy, if you can get the settings you had we can help you out with that one :) Ellis, panning relies a lot on technique as well as settings. The way to do it is a slow shutter speed to get the movement of the background while keeping the subject sharp so it's best to find a compromise between the 2 or get your technique to an amazing level :lol: Because of the longer shutter speeds needed in daylight you tend to need a smaller aperture which is good if you're on a kit lens as they tend to get sharper at this point. Also keep the ISO down to help. The other good news is that for motorsport a "slow" shutter speed doesn't necessarily need to be that slow as the vehicles are moving quickly. One thing to bear in mind too is the quicker the car is going, the faster shutter speed you can afford. If you're sat on the inside of a corner for example, you're going to need a slower speed than on a straight to get the feeling of movement in the photo.

I haven't caught the car straight on though which has caused the front to be a little blurry, but the back is pretty sharp. You can drop the shutter speed down if your technique is good, i always found a significant drop in the keeper rate if i took it below 1/125 but that's just me. You tend to get away with a slower speed if you shoot dead on straight with the car, this for example was 1/40 [url=https://flic.kr/p/9oBE9n][img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5180/5506774293_ae9f330019_z.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/9oBE9n]Flying Beemer2[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/41375694@N02/]andyroberts1868[/url], on Flickr On the technique side, you need to track the car as it comes close and follow it as it goes past, clicking the shutter as it comes closest and follow tracking it as it goes. I find keeping feet firmly in one place and moving the upper of your body to follow the car to work best. Keep your elbows into your body for support and you're away. This is something i knocked up really quick to show you. The arrows are probably a little far out there but you'll see what i mean when you try it.
