Like it, like it
That hair-in-motion is exactly the idea I'm hoping everyone will showcase.

Here's another shot taken from the back of a Steam Engine.
I made it really gritty on purpose, to express the noise, sweat and smoke which are all part of the experience.

Thank you! She was SO expressive when she danced - a real pleasure to photograph.

Here's another.

Getting the eyes in focus while blurring everything else is my favourite result in this shot.

Not sure if it fits here...but, if you look at this and scroll your mouse up and down, it apears to move (inside the windows)...

I've been out of stills for some years now, to be honest, so it's great to feel motivated again, and see if I've got the knack.

I was always a Honda rider (until I finally quit bikes, last year), but that looks like an original Z1300 or similar, to me.
Sweet machine, indeed.

funny thing is, I've never been a rider - just a shooter...

Whip panning. You speed up the panning action just before the shutter closes.

I do a lot of very slow motor sport pans but I've never been able to nail a whip pan that good. What was your shutter speed?
