Been playing with slow shutter speeds of late and thought I'd share this one......

Thats nice, very crisp.

if that's for real... that shows some mighty fine skills. did you use a tripod or was it handheld - not that it matters even if it was on a tripod that's still some mighty fine tracking skills.

That is a brilliant shot! How slow a shutter speed is 'slow'??

Awesome pic Phil, always like this style pic, a real action shot.

Do you have to slow the shutter down and 'track' the rider through the shot? Hence the clear rider but blurred background?

Nice panning skills Phil

Cheers, I enjoy panning and using low speed shutter in MX. I like my pix to have plenty of movement in them... I don't mind a bit of blurr.... I only have me to please, unlike the pros...

Hand held, though I'm keen to try a mono-pod. One day I'll splash out on a remote flash system, would make this sort of pic really take off.....
