were you panning? thats the trick... pan with a slow shutter.. i dont know how slow. mabey 1/125?? i guess its all a trial and error thing, the more you do it the better youll be.
good luck!

Only the last link was to a file that included the EXIF data, and that indicated 1/125 second shutter speed. I think you can assume, based on that shot, that 1/125 or slower will be fine insofar as keeping the spinning wheels blurred. However, for stopping the linear motion you should probably not shoot slower than 1/125, plus pan as as best you can.

In other words, just keep doing what you did in that last shot!
