I would try that too...but it would entail removing my lint collection.

Oh, well, never mind.

what's the best aperture for panning?

high, Dof is a waste as it wont be seen it'll only reduce the margin of error you have i have no rule of thumb but i normally aim for at least f7 ish.

example
full side on pan at f4 1/320th at about 140mph as is out of the camera no sharpening yet

what mode do you shoot in for panning? (I 99.9% of the time shoot in M...but suddenly I realized that maybe that wouldn't be best)

I think I'll set up both cameras. One for panning and one for distance shots. Our motorcycle shoot is on the open roads so no stadium or sidelines. We just get to the assigned places before the motorcycles.

okay, thanks. I've never used TV so this'll be interesting

you can use manual if you want but its too much faff to change settings on the fly if some one gets it wrong

and I normaly change it so i have shutter speed on the big rear dial and ec on the small thumb dial
this allows me to change shutter speed while keeping my finger on the trigger, what you need if some one crashes

The aperture is going to depend on your shutter speed. When panning, I typically use Tv...set my desired shutter speed and ISO....usually 100 for daytime shots and then let the camera follow the aperture as necessary. You can have some fairly radical changes in the lighting as you pan across the horizon.

I don't think we'll have crash issues (at least I hope not). We're shooting an event for a motorcycle club's fundraiser.

thanks Dom

Have a good night/day (or whatever it is there)

This is with a mk2n ISO 100, 1/200 and f/13.....70mm....w/70-200....I was about 10 feet back from the edge of the road....depending on where you are...the 300 may be way too long.
