    Don't worry Isac, I'll be trying a lot of different settings.

    Good place to start John, but don't be afraid to drop the shutter speed to see what happens. You can always add a bit of wheel spin in PS

    He was probably going close to 30 kph at the time.

    Thanks Isac, I think I'll open up the aperture and work with shutter speeds in the 1/320 -1/640 range with ISO at auto. It will be a good day to practice my panning skills.

    1/125 second f11. He was probably doing 80 kph at the time.



    at close to 300 kph you need somewhat faster shutter speed. 1/500 f8

    Three. The others have no sense of speed whatsoever.

    started a topic A sense of speed

    A sense of speed

    Conveying a sense of speed in motorsport photography is very important, after all speed is what motorsport is all about.
    Here are three images of go karts traveling at speed, all shot with different settings. I would be interested in opinions as to which one best convey a sense of speed.
