Speedway, being Queen of Indy Circuit high speed car porn photography, will back me up on this: when a car is travelling at well over a hundred miles per hour; no matter how good your panning technique …

… no matter how pin-sharp your manual focusing; no matter how spot-on your shutter speed (that magical and very narrow window that stops the car dead but keeps its wheels moving - something that your camera's "sport" mode will never achieve, so leave it switched to manual) …

… No matter how good you are …

… that fucking post will always get in the way. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!

Nothing that a bit of Photoshop wankery can't fix, however. What the hell did I do before Photoshop?
