Shutter speed is a bit too fast in the first two, aperture priority can do that because it adjusts the shutter speed to allow for the user input aperture size... which can cause the action to be frozen if the shutter speed gets too fast - fine for say football, not good for motorsport as it freezes the wheels making it looked like they are parked...
The two crash shots are ok, like the 2nd one actually. Definitely says "oh bother"
The last one also suffers from "action freeze", but thats because its shot in the dreaded "action" mode, which gives you the fastest possible shutter speed - 1/1250th in this case. Again, maybe good for anything actionwise other than motorsport but...

Thanks for the comments.
I have not tried any motorsport photography before so i was pleased with the results, expecially catching the heat haze from Shakeys exhaust. However I agree that that most of my shots do look 'frozen', and I have to practice more.
I guess I will have to lower the shutter speed and practice panning. I did try to do this but these bikes are going real fast and I got a lot of tail ends and grass

Personally I think the shot of Shakey Byrne's bike is superb and only let down by the sense of speed, lack of. The heat haze really sets the shot off. As it is mainly a head on shot so not much detail on the wheels for motion it may be worth processing a little motion blur on the background. If you get it right then you could turn this shot into a cracker

Hello Mrs Pete!
To be honest the shutter speed has little to do with missing framing the bike - well unless you are superhuman and deal in hundredths of seconds
What it has got to do with is the ability to get the bike sharp, the slower the speed the more you have to accurately track the bike in a smooth motion. But again its really not anything you can say you ever conciously do because the timing is so minute...
If you have IS/VR on your lens, turn it on... it does help!

Shakey's at the edge of the track pulling the clutch in and gazing at his rev-counter.....
He's doing a practice start........This is a common sight after most practice sessions when it doesn't really matter it the rider fries the clutch when doing a practice start.

Oh right ! Shaky wasnt moving very fast in this shot, guess thats why I managed a reasonable piccy
But nevertheless very pleased with the effort.
As for the guy who slid off at the start of race one due to the rain, didnt get a shot of the actually slide worried that the rider was ok. Guess I havent got that 'killer' instinct

Right enough, didn't notice the clutch hand :bonk: Explains the heat haze captured so well from the exhaust also.

You can have mine Badger Baiter... I've quit BSB..Too many people wanting stuff for nothing made it not worth while.

At the moment, just a TV...
I love the sport but put way too much passion into it (is that possible??) that at the moment I'm hacked off being pretty much forced out of what I loved doing so am taking a break and just watching the racing at home and spending more time out on my own bike for a change.
