Track Cycling very often has restricted access … To separate the subject from the background is a conflict – open the aperture for shallow depth of field, and that will speed up the shutter and freeze the action, I therefore chose to pan in order to blur the background (that otherwise would have been in focus) and also needed to show movement in the wheels and riders’ legs…

Danie covered panning briefly in his Basic Photography Class on Saturday, emphasising its importance for sports or wildlife photographers in selecting the appropriate shutter speeds for their subjects. This image of a track cycling event by Glen, taken at 1/160th of a second, demonstrates an excellent panning technique.
