1: Switch your camera to Shutter Priority mode by turning the mode dial to 'S' or on Canon models, 'Tv'.

2: Choose a slower shutter speed which will blur the action. 1/60 is a good starting point.

3: Follow the subject through the viewfinder as you take the picture. Make sure you keep moving the camera as you press the button.

4: If the background isn't sufficiently blurred, choose a slower shutter, such as 1/30 or 1/15. If the action is too blurred, choose a faster shutter like 1/125.

Don't know if that's what ii2cky did, but it should give similar results. www.dslrtips.com

^big thanks Santi.. but how does this all work focus-wise? i've been wondering about that, like how to focus while taking the shot

When I tried panning, I just kept half pressing the shutter button so I knew I was focused, when i had the subject where I wanted, then pressed the shutterbutton full to take the pic and kept following until the camera had finished taking the shot.

^yes very similar to that method, i was using 1/25 - 1/60

Gordon Laing explains it here

^ you can either pre-focus manually on a general area where people/cars will pass by. as they pass by shoot. or i guess autofocus?

hmm, i guess i'm just gonna have to try it out for myself and play around with it.. thanks though Santi, you've been a big help dude foreal

edit: i'll try it out sometime, thanks everybody for the help

heres the results from my first attempt at emulating qkslvrtypeS haha...did this a couple of months ago but never felt they were worthy of posting...i need tofind a smooth paved lot with cool security so i can get a bit better at this...

i should have probably cleaned my rims/brakes before doing this..it was sort of spur of the moment when we decided to try it...

my friends GSX...he should have probably washed his entire car before this

and the oh very necessary scenic nature pic. cliff house SF...

Hey guys I might have asked this earlier, but what is better than the stock lens that comes with the Digital Rebel xt.
I want to shoot sharper and better looking landscapes and potraits.
What is also the best fisheye lens and macro lens for it. Thanks ahead.
