Nice set Simon!

**RobA_Oz** · 08-06-2015, 02:22 PM

A very nice set, indeed! You seem to have your panning technique well-nailed. Do you shoot hand-held or on a tripod?

**Mallee Boy** · 08-06-2015, 02:32 PM

Well done, very good captures.

Thanks Rob

. All of these were handheld apart from the ones taken with my Sigma 150-500mm (#3, #7 and #10) where I used a monopod. A tripod is just not practical at a packed race circuit, and tends to be frowned on by organisers and other spectators alike.

Cheers,

Simon.

#6 took a few shots (by a few I mean loads

) to get right, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Cheers,

Simon.

I can't pan these excellent shots (sorry about the pun but you have the technique absolutely spot on). terrific stuff.
