1/15thsec. but they move pretty fast.

Pick up the subject early and pan into the shot keeping both eyes open, and tracking. Slowly squeeze the trigger feathering activation of the shutter, because while you are panning you need to keep you past movment going to get a smooth pan

It may depend what you are trying to accomplish. Here are some I took with my point and shoot. They are somewhat blurry but I think it adds to the effect. I took these at night without flash. I was seated with the camera on my knee and just follow the car until it was close. It took some practice and lots of shots didn't come out. I took about 150 to get about a dozen I liked.

I don't know about luck, but awesome shot!

Do you by chance still have original, that you could give some details about the shot, etc.?

Sadly, race season doesn't start for another month or so... Taken during practice in California last year - probably about 160mph.

The other good tip for doing motion panning is to shoot a lot

Percentage of keepers, particularly when you are learning this, will be very low and luck pays a big part. So shoot more, make your own luck!

Decisions, decisions...

There's a big kayak race tomorrow in an area where it would be so easy to capture the race start for this challenge. Imagine if you will a panned shot of the leading boats just after the gun has sounded. Motion blurred background of the river, complete with a few sail boats etc and paddlers frozen mid stroke with water flying etc etc. Sweet idea eh?

Problem is, I'm competing in the race! What to do....

I found one I took last year... meets challenge but would end up with 5.2x

This one has me stumped and I can't figure it out. Let's say that I have a subject moving a moderate speed (anywhere from running to riding a bike and not F1 or NASCAR), the sun is out, and the skies are clear: how do I get motion blur and not over-expose my shot? I've tried setting my camera (Fuji S5100) to the lowest ISA of 64 and closing my aperture all the way to F9. Anything longer than 1/100 will overexpose my shot, yet, at 1/100 or shorter I'm not getting enough motion blur. Any suggestions? *shrug*

ND Filter.

Hi. I suggest using a ND (Neutral Density) Filter to equally reduce the light from the entire spectrum from hitting the film / sensor. This will also allow you to open up the aperture and achieve a softer blur.

OK, I think I have figured out how to do this. It kind of has the same effect and those below but different. not sure how it will do. This was way tougher than I thought. My camera didn't help matters either. Maybe I will pull it and go for broke(n)
