[QUOTE="Brusader, post: 128519, member: 12347"] I would go with shutter priority and try to capture the speed of the vehicle. Follow them with your camera as they drive past and try to get some blur of the background. Also, have more space in front of the vehicle than behind it, so it's "driving into the frame". I haven't done much of this photography, but I would set it between 60/sec to 125/sec depending on the speed of the vehicles (and your ability to pan and follow it). As always, try lots of different settings, see what comes out best for you and have fun. Oh and post some of the pics up that you get, even if they don't come out great; someone on here is bound to figure out what you can do to improve. :) [/QUOTE]
