Hi all.
I was at the fair, trying to take some pics of the family "rushing" by on the kiddy carousel. I wanted to get a race car effect, where I pan the lens along with them and get a crisp image of them with a blurred background.
It did not work. Maybe they weren't fast enough, but I don't think that is the real problem.
What are the recommended settings for capturing such a shot? Is my aperature set too small for this? Should I shoot faster? I don't want to freeze the action. What other advice can you give me?
All images taken with a Canon 5D and a 24-70mm 1:2.8 L lens, so the equipment ain't the problem!

This one is close to the effect I wanted, but my wife and younger boy are still out of focus.

This one below is a little different as I was on the carousel behind my older one. Here it was just a question of camera shake, so I should have had a faster shutter speed than 1/25.

Thanks in advance for your help.
