After last weeks blurred pics at the Velodrome I thought I'd try some panning this time. I've never tried it before but seem to remember reading that 1/10-1/30 sec is a good speed to use to blurr the background but still have a reasonable chance of freezing the subject...so I had a go...

I think I've been rather lucky with the light as late sunlight was spilling onto this corner of the track so I could get the shadow too.

I've added a couple more on flickr if you click on the link...

No, not really, but I did have a 'bicycle' experience at Calshot velodrome when I popped in to watch these heros in action...one of whom appeared to have come a cropper and was sitting under a blanket. Took a few blurred photos at about 1/30 sec...but must go down again and try some panning (perhaps even cycling...'Never' I hear you shout).

We had a really stormy night on Saturday 2nd December and went down to Hengistbury Head to check out the waves and damage. The waves were the best I've seen on this coast.
