Some shots from the Aussie Muscle yesterday... I am happy with my pans, the first two are straight out of camera, no sharpening

1. Charge


2. GT


3. Uncle


4. Random candid

Number 1 gives the best feelings of the drags for me, and I think I spy a certain photog from Newcastle on the right of the frame

second shot is also quite good as well

Nice GT shot. Colour is great

Mind if I ask what equipment you use? My FH would love it if I could eventually get some photos like that

Youre right there Brett, that"s Steve "Visual Velocity" Thomas doing his thing.

Not bad mate, your panning looks good to me. Like the 1st pic - shame the tog is blocking part of the car though

Yeah all those pros could stand on the other side so us amateurs could get some decent shots!

Equipment - I was using D3 + 18-200VR, in crop mode - which uses the conversion factor so effectively close to 300mm. I found the VR helped, as you would be holding the camera for a while waiting for the green lights, and I think it helped with the panning. Most shots were taken at around F6.3 - F8, which gave me a nice large depth of field so I didn't have to re-focus too often as they moved across the field of view.

What's an FH?

It was overcast in the afternoon so a nice even light.

Oh sorry! Too much time spent on the wedding forum I think! FH = Future Husband, so my fiancee


Thanks Justin
