Stanley, you have come up with another excellent photo.
Both the karts are tack sharp and nicely fill the frame. The panning of the camera has worked to perfection.
This is a great action photo.

Perfect planning, choice of settings, background and result. I'm taking notes but I think your skills would be hard to match. Posted: 04/08/2026 20:19:09
Dear Martin & Piers, Thank you both for your comments, I learned a lot here, thank you for sharing. Posted: 04/12/2026 03:44:04
Hello Stanley,
Your use of panning, shutter speed and a small aperture have worked very nicely in this dramatic image. The fact that the two carts are just a few cm apart really adds to the drama of this image.
My only suggestion would be to crop down about 1/4 of the way into this image to eliminate a near-duplicate blurred (far) wall to the closer one. That would create more of a powerful panoramic style image that would be fun to have printed and framed. Posted: 04/15/2026 10:48:25
