Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice. I'm new to this site so forgive me if this isn't posted in the correct place? I have been shooting motorsports over the past year or so and I've slowly gotten better, but I'm still struggling in one area particularly I would like to get some help with. I'm struggling to get those Tack Sharp perfect speed shots you would see in a magazine (maybe a little overoptimistic, I'm not a professional lol). I have a few shots I can post so you can see what I'm talking about. They're desent, but they're still a tad grainy and a little blurry around the tires. I'd like to only have blur in the writing on the tires. I usually shoot with a pretty high(maybe too high?) shutter speed, 1/1000th and higher in the daylight. I usually have my ISO up at 600-800 in the day. I'm wondering if that's too high, maybe that's giving me the graininess thus taking away the quality of the image I'd like?? I'm wondering if I'd be better off with a slower shutter and lower ISO?? My problem is I feel I'm not that good, I crank the shutter up to compensate for the fact that I struggle to pan and keep up with them when they pass me at 130mph. Which brings me to my second question..focusing. I've been in AF-C single servo. I'm wondering if I should be shooting in dynamic mode Point 21 or 51? Aka I shoot with a Nikon S750 with a 24-120 F/4 lens. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Shawn Cooper
