Panning Speedskating

[JoshC.]

Hey guys!
These are a couple of shots I took this past weekend at the Senior Long Track Championships in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Still learning my camera; these were the first action shots I've taken.
Edited using Picnik, after getting frustrated with the complications of GIMP.

1. This is of Shani Davis, one of the all time greats!

2. Jonathan Kuck

3. Trevor Marsicano

4. Trevor Marsicano

C&C is much appreciated!!!

Sorry! They're up now!!!

Not bad... I think I like #2 best.

If I had one thing to say... Make the space above his head equal to that below his feet...

edit... Maybe a slightly different crop... like...

Great! That is definitely good editing advice. Thank you
And number 2 is my favorite for sure.

maybe a slightly slower speed to show a little more movement

I was shooting at a slower speed but I had trouble focusing. Any way to fix that?
