Nice shots Okie, You need a more experienced rider though, he keeps getting his bars in the way of the chest logo on the jersey. How can you sell gear when you hide the logo's :laugh:

#2 is my fav, the one titled "last one" would be a good candidate to have done the slow shutter pan/motion blur thing.

 

[Okiewan]

Had much luck with pans Chili? What shutter speed has worked for you? 250 or so?

And Thump was probably in it at least you almost got a shot of him

Hey I didn't say I could do it, just that shot might benefit from it :laugh: I've actually been working on the pans of late since they seem to be pretty popular in moto right now so thought I'd see if any sold. I've tried as slow as 1/60th up to 1/250th. The day I decided to try the 1/60th wasn't very well thought out as it was a pro moto in a 4th gear straightaway, that might have been the place to go 1/250th.

This is at 1/60th, I got roasted in the photo forum since his boot is sharper than his head. I was impressed I could catch any part of a former Canadian champion 4th gear tapped on a 450 at 1/60th :laugh:

This is at 1/125th and I probably could have gone slower since this was a slower class and a slower section of the track.

And this was at 1/200th

Lot's of work to do on my panning technique but heck a guy has to start somewhere.
