Hi All, Well what a day and i am stuffed, 32 degree's at the race track and i have spent all day walking around it in the hot sun doing photo's. I just hope my efforts pay off in time and well this morning wasn't too bad but soon heated up and sun 1 min cloudy the next plays havoc at times.
Well i hope everyone eles is having a good time as i been a bit busy last couple of days as i have to spend many hours processing, it's hard when you take like 300 a day so many bikes so little storage.LOL Oh well instead of sitting here files to transfer/process and upload to new site at

All that hard work and no replies. Yet again you have some very impressive panning images in that bunch. I particularly like the contrasting feeling in image 52

Make that two!!
As usual, your shots are tack sharp, well-composed and really idicative of the speeds these guys are travelling. I really admire what must be by now a very well practiced technique. At the moment, my best panning work involves a skillet that lives under the stove...!

HAHAHA Simon, well i have found out it is easier not to use the monopod, but thats ok as for the 80-400VR isnt to bad to carry around all day. Something like a 300mm f/2.8 lens would need the pod as yeh a bit bigger to carry but i dont have 1 of them but i have been looking at them i see a couple in the Photographic trader 1 in Adelaide hills, not if only i could convince she who must be obeyed lol. I just need a faster focussing lens thats all, and that is in the workings.
But it is something you do get used to when you take 300 shots a day panning near all of them.

John, I've thought about podding up but I think I'll just save the dosh for an 80-400VR. A MUCH better investment methinks. Do you use teleconverters?

G'day John,
You've got the panning down pat! These are terrific racing shots, really sharp and the blurred wheels and backgrounds give a real sensation of speed... Good stuff, I can see why they sell...
