So 50% of shots were not sharp, was that down to the conditions so you think as that’s quite a high ratio?
Some cracking images though!
I pan at 1/20 to 1/80 tops, so a relatively low hit rate kinda comes with the territory, with a lot of practice I've got pretty consistent but it doesn't take much more than a decent breeze to throw that off. Considering the 20mph wind, sub-zero temperatures and blizzard (and thick gloves etc) I was pretty pleased to get anything. The vast, vast majority of the 20,000 there didn't even bother venturing out around the circuit.
I've read that 1 in 10 is a pretty acceptable panning ratio but I've been practicing at silly shutter speeds for about a decade now (30+ events per year until recently) so I'm much higher than that. I also swear by single shot to really smooth out a pan, but I know general advice is to mash the shutter.
