love the heat waves in #2. Did you take any panning shots? did they work out?

nice shots!

Thanks. Yeah had a go at panning as always, but can never get it to be sharp enough. This was one of the better ones:

I like how number 2 captured the heat coming from the exhaust!

Panning: Always easier to capture when they're turning toward you. SOO much easier.

Had another go this weekend, here's a couple of decent pans:

They seem to have something on every time I go out there, cars or bikes.

Those last two were taken with my new 200mm f2.8L :)
