Your camera is alot smarter than the "M" Zealots would have you believe

I grew up in Long Beach, and attended/worked at several LBGP's - Mario Adretti Vintage even. Love the "King taco" banner. Ate there many times in east LA working graves, best Mex food ever. Mark

Although I think #1 with a slower shutter speed would of gave the scene a bit more motion. But being that it was taken at the hair pin turn just before the finish line the cars go very slow around the turn so a slower shutter speed would be more challenging. But the dynamics of the shots make it work. Nice job as usual. ShotsInTime

But I don't think the problem is the shutter speed as much as it is the cars literally are crawling through there. This one was at 1/60th. What I don't like about dropping much lower than that is you really start to pick up distortion. You can see the wheels are starting to "screw" away from the car already. • Canon, Leica, Mac & Imagination •

I actually liked the turn we'd shoot at Portland with the same effect... but they carried more speed. Thanks. JT This is true. I hate trying to pan when you pan faster then the car is actually moving. They are race cars for crying out loud. That is a difficult corner to shoot though. ShotsInTime
