I usually prefer the prefocus method as it goes with the composition of the shot.
I only want one keeper per sequence, the one where the angle of the subject and the background seem to work better for composition. Then I am also looking to make this point fill the frame as much as possible within the limits of my panning technique. Phil |

Hi Tim
Great Shots!!!! You have got the panning down Pat. I use the same method as you and it works very well. I am looking forward to more Shots !! Phil |

I'm not saying pre-focus doesn't work (I used to use it myself) with with fast/accurate AF I can capture more action. |

You had really good panning result. I have never mastered that part with slow shutter speed to catch the motion either of a fast car or bird. My BIF panning shots were all done at over 1/1500s and strictly speaking mine are not panning shots. Keep up with it .I love the sense of motion Daniel |

I am not confident in the speed of the Pentax AF system for motorsports. The Pentax AF system does not seem to be as relaible as your new Canon D1 Mk111, especially in lower light conditions. I get a reasonable number of crashes etc but I have also lost some when the AF sytem decide to hunt over the entire focus range before refocussing correctly. both my DS and K10D do this, particularly in low light , low contrast situations. The HSM version of my current motosrport workhorse zoom is set for release later this year, that may make a difference. Phil |

![]() As John rightly says, it is knowing how to get the best out of the kit that you shoot with it was just a suggestion for consideration as unless shooting straight on such as this type of scenario where the speed trap was clocking the top cars at over 100mph at this point (yes I was in the firing line if something went wrong!!!), then the change of distance between subject and camera is not taking place at a high speed. ![]() My reason for suggesting was to open up people to the different options when shooting different subject types so we can all learn from each other, which I believe we are doing here by sharing our ideas and experiences. |
