| August 2, 2009 @ 11:15pm | Nice shot Mike! I love that the cars are captured in still motion but there is still a ghosting effect to show the motion. Amzing how close these cars draft at high speed. Looks like #47 is being towed

Or perhaps #47 is pushing the other one, lol. If one didn't know anything about car racing, one could come to that conclusion. Mike, this is a very nice capture - it's got the focus and shutter speed and panning perfect!
Do you have any others? This sports category is miserably under represented here at TME.

| August 3, 2009 @ 9:58am | Thanks guys, this was a first time for me. I have a lot of total blurs and half cars, this was harder that I thought, not to mention it was 100 zillion degrees in the pit.

| August 3, 2009 @ 10:19am | Hi Mike,
I know how difficult it can be to pan and actually capture something worth keeping.
You did a great job capturing these. I like the way you managed to get the three cars in frame. I also like the ghosting. The blurred lines keep everything all nicely framed too. Good focus, good colour, all round a good photograph. I like it.
Wow, 100 zillion degrees, now that is hot!

I agree with the others. This is a great shot.
Panning is tough. When I have shot races recently I have taken 700-900 shots but only keep 30-40. The keeper rate for shots like this is very low.
