One of the purpose I went to Sepang Super GT Race is to practice my panning skill to take picture of moving object which is the GT cars. In order to take a photo where people can feel the car inside the picture is moving, you need use panning skill where you will need to set your camera to lower shutter speed and turn your body by following the car as it moves to take a very nice panning shot. Why must turn your body? When you put to lower shutter speed, the car in the picture will be blurred as the car is moving in fast speed. In order to take the car is very sharp but the background and the tyre remain blur, you need to turn your body while making sure the camera stay in focus on the car when taking the shot. Below are some of the panning shots I took during the event.

Last Saturday I went to Toyota City Showcase in Odaiba to see Toyota cars for Japan market. They have wide range of cars from luxury car like Majesta to K-car like Vitz. They also have a section for F1 car development and GT. The best part of the showcase is the Mega Theatre. It is a theatre with a big screen plus Motion Master effect. I watched a GT car racing simulation last Saturday and it was fantastic. The motion effect is damn real. You can feel the motion of changing gears and braking plus cornering.

In Toyota City Showcase, you can test drive any Toyota car you want around the building with a small amount of fee (If not mistaken is 300 yen). But you must have a valid driving license and for foreigner must have a International Driving License. They also offer consultation for those who want to buy new car. Now enjoy the photos I took in Toyota City Showcase.
