Great looking shots fella - very sharp indeed! :)

Any tips for a fast panning novice? My shots came out a little blurred :(

*edit - what a race eh?! An awesome event throughout :)

thanks for the comments everyone.

as for tips, this is a tricky one to be fair, for me i have the advantage of IS on my 100-400 whch helps out a bit, but when i first started off panning i just had a 70-300 sigma so i cant put it all down the the IS.

basically for me, my tips would be lots of practice, i always use centre spot focusing and ai servo (keep the shutter button pressed half way while tracking the subject) and have a smooth action, try and steady yourself, maybe have your arm resting on the side of your body and twist from the waist to follow your subject. oh yes, and more practice, i cant emphasise this enough, i was rubbish at it when i first started, but kept going and got much better over time.

thats my 2p worth anyway, hope this helps :)
 
nice series :) Like the way you've been able to avoid too many blown hot spots due to the sun too, well done.
 
Nice selection, that honda sceme just makes me drool every time I see it hence the choice of colour scheme for the next bike I am going to get :) (Whenever that may be)
