RALLY OF TURKEY PICTURES (loads so broadband only)
Discussion
I went to Turkey the weekend and took these pics 
I was with a film crew so able to access places were Public not allowed.
I shared the back seat with Colin MacCrea when he had a lift with the film crew back to his Hotel

I like #2 from Day-1 - very sharp lines on the car, the others are a little blurred (either no panning with the car or too slow a shutter-speed).
Day 2 pics are good. Water splash always good for a pic, and I like the last Scooby shot, nice angle and good action with the mud being thrown up. That's the sort of photo where a really fast shutter-speed works best.
Day 3 the last one is the best...real sense of movement.
What camera are you using, and what settings? Might be worth linking this thread over to Photo & Video forum, ask for comments. I've learned a fair bit from those guys since I got my D-SLR.

Have a Olympus C-750 Day 1 I just used Auto, on Day 2 on a mixture of Auto, object in scenery and sports.
But my main Job was to help out and operate the Puddle Camera for the Film Crew. Cleaning lense and repositioning when hit etc. so my Pics were secondary.

Fair enough.
Just had a look...looks like a very decent sub-SLR camera, has all the right modes and settings. With a little messing should be able to take some cracking shots with that.
The Photo & Video forum boys will tell you a lot more (and better) than me, but if you're taking shots of moving cars again, some good settings which are still pretty automatic and easy to use are:-
1) High ISO - think 400 is your max, which will do. 800 can be a bit grainy, 1600 definitely so, so avoid unless very poor light. On a bright sunny day it's not necessary (100 or 200 will be fine), but in the UK it tends to help.
2) Set to 'shutter priority' mode (might be indicated by the letters 'Tv')...you say how fast a shutter speed you want, it calculates exposure. I'd suggest playing around with a number of different speeds, depending on how far away the car is and how quick it's moving 'across' you. 1/100 to 1/250 is where I tend to put it, ideally at the lower end (although you do need to be reasonably smooth at panning there). This should give you a crisp car and stylishly blurred background and wheels.
3) Set to something like 'AI Servo' or 'Continuous AF'...it should then continually focus on the subject while you're holding the button half-way down.
4) Take lots of memory and snap away. Better to take 500 and discard 250 than take 250 and discard 80. Half of my shots get deleted as soon as I look at them on the PC...but it's a good way to learn.
Also useful (but don't want to overload you straight away):-
5) You can specify WHERE the camera looks for it's focus point. Usually it picks a series of random points from a circle about 3/4 the diameter of the pic. But you can specify any one of a number of points...most usefully the centre point.
6) Adjusting the white balance can help improve the colours of the picture. Auto is OK, but manually changing from sunny to cloudy to indoors to ... will make the colours more accurate (Digital cameras need to be 'told' what pure white is).
7) Keep the zoom to a sensible level so that if your panning isn't perfect you don't 'lose' half the car off the side of the pic (like I've done several times). The more it fills, the better the picture (usually), but you can crop digital pictures if the car looks too small.
Have fun...you jammy b'gger!!!

Cool pics. I would love the chance to take snaps that close to the action.
Track photos are cool, but rally photos always look better!
