Panning shots

Hey,
I have been trying to master my panning shot for quite some time now. And I take the opportunity of our small ciruit race for that. Here are some from last Sunday but not from the actual race.
What do you all think?

I like these, especially the first one, it's colours and contrast really make it stand out. Very nice all.

Thanks jlandrews!

Very nicely done, Yisehaq. My favourite is number 2 though. I really like that you can clearly see the driver and how he's all hunched over. The background also includes a barely readable "Go The Distance" which adds to the image.

Thanks so much, Iggy. You noticed the "Go the Distance" very well. I thought it was not legible.

If you planned that one, add an extra cherry to your sundae! :) Including that sign adds to the image and it's not so blurry that you can't read it. Nice!

i like this play Yisehaq - looks good to me - my fave is shot 1

Nice set Yisehaq. Looks to me like the practice is starting to pay off very well indeed!

Very nice panning job. I remember a podcast from a photographer (Scott Bourne), who used to be a photographer in his earlier days at Indianapolis Speedway. His suggestion was that you need to have a shutter speed fast enough to freeze the car and get it sharp, but slow enough to have a blur in the tires. You have done that very well.

Thank you Iggy, Marko, aubintbay and asnow.
Indeed practice has paid off in this case.

Definitely #1 for me also Yisehaq. You definitely nailed it on this one especially, but all are good.

Thanks Hillbillygirl!
