If you're thinking the pict I posted was a panning shot, you're quite mistaken on that.
Actually, I do have one which is done very similarly as yours above. It can be replicated quite easily once you get the hang of following your targets:

My apologies.
I didn't mean to infer or imply that your shot was a panning shot. I merely recalled having a similar shot of one subject within a group avoiding the captured motion blur by having relatively less motion.

Oh, no worries there, just wanted to clarify that it wasn't a panning shot as you seem to have implied.

Arky - how many shots did you need to take to get those three?
About 500 rounds fired. The shutter was machine gunning while the shots were fired, it averaged about 6 frames per round. So roughly 3000 frames.

arky, what kind of shutter speeds were you needing to get those gunshot shots?
John, sweet miniature images.
Those were taken with a 1D at 1/16,000. Those shots are not possible with the newer CMOS cameras because they rely on the shutter curtains for exposure timing. With the CCD in the 1D, the exposure is timed by turning the chip on and off while the shutter curtain is completely open. That allows for shorter exposures and importantly, for short lived phenomena, a simultaneous capture of the entire frame. The symmetrical muzzle flash can't be captured with a moving shutter curtain even if it's able to shoot at this speed. I found it interesting that the sensor remains slightly sensitive to light after the electronic exposure, until the shutter closes. This effect can be seen best in the first shot for some reason. If you really want to check it out, the full size shots (caution, noise) can still be found here: http://www.pbase.com/bigflat/1d_45_muzzle_flash

This one's a little different, but same concept as a lot of other pics on here. Shutter of 15 seconds or so, then spinning the camera during the last 1-2.
