Quick Tip: Creating a sense of SPEED.

CREATING A SENSE OF SPEED = MOTOR SPORTS
When photographing motor sports it is all too easy to set your shutter speed to just freeze the action. This is a safe setting as there is very little skill involved, you will end up with a sharp and boring image, you might as well of taken a photo of a parked car.
Try lowering the shutter speed and panning the camera while taking the shot, it takes practice and the success rate is lower, but what you end up with is a shot that shows motion by the way of blurred backgrounds and wheels.
Sports mode on a camera generally just means it will use the fastest possible shutter speed, try switching to Manual or shutter priority and give it a go.
Happy snapping!
