They would be the best side shots I have see of a car under speed. Perfectly framed and focused.Well done I am impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 5m 6d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 25/06/07 12:03 PM Author Share Posted 25/06/07 12:03 PM (edited) The camera was a D2x using a 200mm lens with a 2x teleconverter for some of the shots.From memory I shot it at about 125th/sec on shutter priority. but its not the camera, its in the technique.The trick with a good pan is to set the camera to manual focus.Pick a point on the track where the car will pass at its closest and focus on that point.The next bit is like a golf swing.Center the car in the frame way down the track and follow it as the car comes towards you.As the car passes the point that you focused on, push the trigger.Then continue to follow the car as it goes away from you.Its all about being smooth with the swing and when pushing the button.Don't forget to take heaps of photos, on sunday I took over 580 photos.As for being a Pro, I get paid to take photos for a living so I suppose I'am.If any one wants a bigger version of any of the photos, let me know and I will post them up.
