Thank you DebraLee. I shot over 700 photos of this race using a slow shutter speed technique. In the end, I only kept about 6. So a very high delete rate. But the few good one I really like, so it was worth it! Mike

BYRON
Excellent technique, both in choice and execution.
This technique really works for this image giving a fantastic sense of movement.
I would like to invite you to present your image to the ROUND TABLE FORUM where I conduct formal and detailed critiques. I would like to use your image for a lesson in this technique to other group members.
You will have to join the PHOTOGRAPHY CRITIQUE AND ADVICE GROUP to post the image.
Thank you.

Mike Lane replied
Byron, thanks for the comment and your suggestion. I will join the group and post the image later today.
Thanks!

Great Mike. I wont get a chance to do the critique/lesson for a few days.
Could you include any technical data you may have (camera, lens, aperture, shutter speed ISO/ASA…) as well as any post-production details.
Thanx again.

I can relate! Superb image and your hit rate is fair. I use the slow shutter speed and pan/crash zoom for aviation and bicyle images. Just to be different.
