| Hi all,
I wanted some specific advice on my panning technique, focussing in particular.
Now, I have a 'bridge' camera (Fuji S9600) at the moment until I start taking pics that make me feel like an upgrade to a DSLR is justified. What I wanted to query about my technique is this.
What I do is to pre focus on a section of the track and hold the shutter release halfway until a car comes by then follow it and release the shutter. This seems to work most of the time but sometimes I will only get part of the car in focus nicely and say maybe the rear end will be out of focus.
I recently invested in a sturdy monopod which has helped to a degree but I still feel that something is lacking in my camera setup or technique. For example I can get nice shots at 1/160 1/120 1/100 but seem to hit my 'talent barrier' at 1/80 thing is that I have seen similar pics by togs (yeah, that's you Ross) who go to the same events as me as low as 1/40 and they have the car pin sharp!
Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated!
