They do look good don't they? Which technique do you use - prefocus or autofocus?

[surenj]

Cool colours... Are they desaturated?

Straight out of camera, I have only watermarked and compressed before uploading to Flickr.

I autofocus it, for these shots I used my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 which I found has a little trouble getting off the mark to catch the front 1/4 shots so I ended up with a lot of good rear 1/4 shots. But this sequence worked well.

wheels, i think it's a combination of both - pre-focus as the subject advances and let the AF do its thing

Yeah, I've tried it both ways, prefocus gets you one or two good shots - autofocus tends to hunt a bit and once again only one or two good shots. I'm just going to have to practice more I think.

These are pretty impressive due to the amount of ambient light or lack of, you are shooting in.

Agree with above post, under those condition it has turned out quite well

I have to thank Seeto, he has been the one that has really driven me to shoot pans. I had the ISO pumped up in those and was underexposing a little from memory as it was too hard to expose correctly and shoot due to the low shutter speeds needed.

Seeto post some of your pans up!!!
