This is great Mark! I take it you were panning? Fantastic but tricky subject to do this with! Instantly reminded me of the old photos that were taken showing the horse with all hooves off the ground that created the early piece of film 🙂
Oh that’s just the way it goes when photographing subjects like that! At least we’re not wasting rolls of film anymore 😉 Were you using a monopod or just handheld? I’ve noticed a lot of the motorsport photographers go for mono so you’ve got a balance between stability and freedom of movement.
Haha! Great job doing it handheld 🙂 My mono hangs nicely on the back of the wheelchair but I often find that by the time I realise I need it, set it up, attach the camera, the moment has passed! Usually because the bird flew off 😉

Thanks Sarah…..trying to pan yes 😊
A successful attempt I’d say 😀
Not bad I suppose…….I took an awful lot of dross that day though

I was handheld. I do have a mono, but keep forgetting to take the bloody thing 😊
