Good photo but missing the bottom of the back tyre doesn’t look great. Portrait format would have worked better
A bit more blur in the background would helped so open the aperture up a bit if you can.
I like it and your man looks handy on the bike and well controlled. If it’s a mate who’s good on a bike, taking the photo a bit more to the side and panning to completely blur the background would give a much better sense of speed as it looks a bit static!

thanks

I think what paul ment, was to turn the camera on it side into portrait mode

I understand,but will that setting give a fast enough shutter speed for the bike to be clear?
Hi Sean
Have a look at this link which gives an explanation of panning.

portrait has two meanings
1. a mode on the camera like sports, av,manual and auto etc
2. the aspect of the camera ie holding the camera horizontally is called landscape (the longest side of the image is the top and bottom) holding the camera on its side ie turned 90 degrees round is called portrait (the longest side of the image is now the left and right side)
when we were talking about portrait mode we ment number two ie the camera turned through 90 degrees so its on its side, nothing to do with any settings on the camera
Hi Sean
If you want to get some real hands on practice this weekend this might intrest you.
Country Crest 2007 Killalane Road Races Loughshinny
Practice: Saturday 8th September 2007, roads close 1pm to 7pm
Race Day: Sunday 9th September 2007, roads close 10am to 6:30pmYip, just meant turn your camera 90deg and the more vertical composition would have worked better for this particular shot.
For panning just start with a shutter speed of about 1/200sec and take it from there, focusing on the rider and moving the lens in the same plane and at the same speed as he’s travelling. That should give enough of a blur to the wheels and the background will be a bit blurred but it won’t be impossible to get the bike sharp. 1/100sec is better and if you have good technique slower again can look great.

They are called Joe and mick o’ donahue.they have been around road racing for years.
I take it you are into bikes to,by the sound of thing’s.
I have always loved bikes,at the minute,have broken hip,due to wrecking my new 1098 6 weeks ago,but am well on the mend now.

I noticed that at the weekend,the pics of the E type jag i showed,were taken at 1/60 .
Thanks for advice though.
