another cool shot. I like how the two outside riders are blurry while the center one is in focus and pretty sharp. good work. Just curious how exactly did you get this to happen was it kind of luck that the girl with the most expression on her face is sharp or did you do something to get this?
It 'usually' gets focus on the subject that is is at the depth the AF chooses and is moving at the same speed as the pan. Some of it is luck and some is by design of what I am doing to have luck be on my side.
The biggest thing is getting out there and taking a chance by setting up for pans and taking your chances as to what the result will be.
A crit will be an excellent venue to experiment because you have so many chances. Lots of laps a minute or two apart... If it were say, the TDF coming through my town (a once in a lifetime event), I would probably set it at ISO 400 with an aperture of f/5.6 and take few chnaces of not getting a shot. But for a local race with plenty of chances, you might as well try some new techniques.
