Great set, Ron. I love the background blur in the first shot. That one does it for me. A knockout.

Thanks Jeff, yeah that first one was my favourite of all I got that day.

Great set, Ron. I love the background blur in the first shot. That one does it for me. A knockout.

Thanks Harvey must modestly agree :).

Great action series Ron, how many more weeks do you have of this?

Thanks Bobby, depends on the weather, I think they wrapped up last year in mid March on a very slushy track :).

That first one is fantastic. Great panning action, and nice clean background. :notworthy:

Whoa, I'm really digging that first shot!! Amazing.. what shutter speeds do you normally use to create that 'blur' ??

Great work, as usual!

Cheers,

I think it's unanimous. They're all good Ron but the first one is a clear winner.

Thanks Adrian, the shutter speed was 1/180th. Several factors play into achieving motion blur when panning. The slower the shutter speed and the faster the subject is moving of course will increase the background/foreground blur as well a longer lens (200mm in this case) and having the background closer to the subject will also play into your chances of achieving motion bluring.

Thanks, guys, the first one was my fav too.
