    nice shots mate. what's the trick to a clear shot of the vehicle but with blurred wheels and background?

    my photos keep coming out like you said, as a parked car on a road.
    Old Car 0-100km/h took a friggin long time
    New Car 0-100km/h takes only 5.9sec

    are you using a DSLR of point and shoot camera.

    the joy of DSLR is that you can control everything individually, so for these shots i set a slow shutter speed (1/80 to 1/150 sec) and then let the camera meter the aperture and iso.
    i generally auto-focus the camera where i think ill get the best pic of the car, then strafe and shoot continuously, and hope a good one comes out. haha.

    ill post up a series of shots for you later.

    Well done mate
    The 24-70 f2.8L is a brilliant lens that stays on my body about 95% of the time.
    On the occasions I borrow the 70-200 f2.8L USM, that is the god of lenses!

    Doing well mate and picking up on the techniques. Just keep practicing. Even go out to a busy road and practice your panning. Yes people will look at you weird, but at the end of the day its practice.
    Keep it up buddy!

    DSLR Canon 450D. I tend to rely on the pre-set functions but I do play with the manual settings every now and then, depending on the object being photgraphed.

    I now know my issue is the ISO setting is WAY too high on the 'sports' setting and is freezing the images completely even when panning the camera while shooting. I'll give your settings a crack next time I'm at the track.

    Thanks Shay.

    In settings you can set you max auto iso, i think mine is set to 1600.
    I generally only ever use "Tv", "M" and "no flash auto" modes...

    Using "long" exposure you want your Iso and aperture low so the pic doesnt get washed out.
    low aperture also gives better depth of field, which i like trying to play around with in static shooting...
