Moto-X

I was halfway through my 5 hour drive home when I drove past a moto-X event yesterday and decided to take some shots.

I was there an hour, and decided to try that 'panning' stuff I never have a chance to try.

I think I overdid it on most of them, but this one turned out OK...

Cropped a bit, a touch extra saturation but otherwise it's as it came from the camera.

I also realised that panning doesn't work well for stuff on the ground in this situation as there is a lot of subject vibration that cannot be compentated for. However you will have to agree that it adds a lot to the second of these shots where the subjects are travelling at the same speed, believe it or not.

Wow, if that first shot was a touch sharper, I could see you selling a bunch of copys to moto-x mags.

Turned out pretty well. Vertical crop from the left will make it even better.

Thanks for the thumbs up. I really was amazed at how well it worked out, you can see how much the camera panned by the background.

It's not like it was a fluke either, there were several of similar 'sharpness'.
