at the motorsport events i go to i'm playing with shutter speeds of 1/50 or below. damn hard to get a good one but when u do you think its what photography is all about! thank god for continuous burst mode tho... :signLOL:

It Certianly helps when you have got an Image stabilised lens and using a monopod makes a huge improvement too. I tend to use my Canon 70-200 F2.8L IS for motorsport and will not be without my monopod :smiley:
Hedge:
For panning though shouldn't you turn your IS off as that contradicts the effect?

i use a 70-300 with VR and monopod when i'm doing panning shots, but lately i've been trying without the monopod.
here's one at 1/50th of the Team Aon Focus, didn't quite get it totally clear.
and one at 1/40th.

funny you say that cos i found mine to do exactly that, so i turned it off to start with.
but lately my tog tutor mate told me to switch it back on. and i've found it to work quite well when panning free hand.

Not just a pretty face. :wink:
I was also struggling to understand how you can pan using a monopod.
I'll dig some of mine out. :wink:
