AI Servo with multiple shots on 5d3,
24-105 f4, TV mode. I selected 1/250 speed at ISO 400, and aperture defaulted to f4.5.

my panning was probably crap

Hi again. I am planning to go malaysian Motogp in Oct so I figure I would go out and practise first on my 24-105 before I dive in and buy a 70-200 f4.

BUT, most of my shots came out blur AGAIN.
I was trying to 'pan' a little. exif should be available

any and all comments and suggestions welcome

just edited my first post included the photo. thanks

After downloading and viewing the image and exif, I wondered if you were using a tripod?  1/20 sec for a 50mm lens with a 22 mp body is pretty slow.  I'd prefer.....

thanks guys.
Didnt have a tripod, was a spur of a moment photo....
I do take photos in both jpeg and sRaw. The attached is the converted sRaw with no processing.

I thought I had focused first on my wife before recomposing but as you guys say, I might have focused on the background and then the 1/20 speed handheld didn't help at all.

so much I still need to learn....thanks again.

In theory, if I had a tripod, preferably a flash as well, I would only have needed a f4-5.6 setting and everyone would have came out sharp? Would it matter much who I focused on?

Hi all, new here and new to photography

Just need to ask a simple question.......
