Hello again, Richard!
You can see the horizontal movement in the blurred "snow", behind the
cyclist. But, I suspect you are right ... I'd forgotten to turn the (very
effective) in-body IS off!
I also left the camera on automagic, as it was a "spur of the moment"
decision to try... so the shutter speed was a bit high. As I mentioned to
Philippe, they'll be racing again, next weekend, so I'm going to go and
re-try, using the proper techniques, rather than simply panning, with
everything else, as usual.
>RW- Anyway - love these Ice Racing images. IIRC: you posted some great
>RW- ones early last year, as well.
I did, and thank you. I'll likely have a few more from last Sunday, but
not until tomorrow. Off to the "Big Smoke", shortly.
Cheers!
