I panned this shot at a shutter speed of 1/80 sec. to create the motion blur. The boat was racing in competition at 100+ mph.

This is top notch stuff. Awesome. I gave you a 10 in the VB when it came up and had to leave you a compliment after. Nice work.

Thanks a bunch for your generous reaction to my DRAG BOAT image. Haven't done a lot of the pan stuff, but like it because of the challenge.

Awesome image Neil, the speed clearly shows, and yes photographing like this is a challenge, you just need a little luck when following the subject with your camera.
But you did a full 100 % here. Awesome.

Luck and my trusty Nikon! It's pretty good at reaching out and grabbing the subject and staying locked. Then all I have to do is keep it in the frame and see how low I can go on shutter speed. Thanks again, Hans.

I am amazed at the sharpness of the boat at only 1/80 sec! I know how difficult panning can be and this is just superb!
