SHOW US YOUR BEST PANNING SHOT

Relatively easy to obtain a pass? do they just ask for prior work example pics? I'd LOVE to do this but thought it was a bit tougher and Im not exactly a pro. just for fun.

I'm definitely no pro. I've been into photography for a long time but its always just been for fun as a hobby. I was surprised to how easy it was. You just provide basic info and a website (in my case i gave them my Flickr link) and thats about it. I got approved within a 2 days or so. Some events/tracks are much more strict but for Barber it was very easy and SO worth it. Free entry, free food at the media center, parking location is probably the best bc its so easy to get in and out and of course being able to get to photographer exclusive areas is awesome

Thanks for the info!! Those shots are awesome man. Very jealous there's no fence in front of you! Next time I'll give it a try. Back to panning shots so I don't high jack this thread

Although i personally prefer panning shots to be level or at least not in this extreme of an angle, this shot is awesome. You did a great job getting the majority of the car in focus!

I know, me too. But after a while it was getting boring to always get the same shot so I tried something different. I'm glad it works and that people enjoy it. Thank you for your nice feedback.

haha totally agree! I had over 300 final edited shots from HIGPA and it just got so repetitive... oh well haha

Another blast from the past circa 2007.

Cool pan Martin, even if it's not super crisp. Looks like an old March F2?

Thank you, still struggling to get much sharp slower 1/40. It is an old March 761 F2, once driven by Katsu Kubota and Ronnie Peterson.

I hear you. That's about the limit at that focal length anyway. Plus, it's sometimes impossible to get the entire car sharp anyway because of how it's moving in relation to the camera and pan.

A recent best and personal favorite.

If it's one thing I've learnt in the last year, it's that it doesn't matter if the car is not entirely sharp at low shutter speeds. I enjoy shooting at low shutter speeds, just not the extra un-needed shots that come with it.

That is an awesome pan Martin. Like the subject too
