you're right, i wasn't looking for an opinion, i was trying to give an example of something you can't do without ridiculous zoom.
another example:

Understood, but it wasn't a good example.
This one's much better.
The trick to panning is tri/monopod because that stable pivot point doesn't allow for much up/down motion. You see all the track photographers with them for a reason. You can have slow shutter speeds and all you need to do is match the side/side pan of the car without the human blur factor. I say "all you need" but that's easier said than done as it's still takes an assload of practice. One thing I do know is I don't have the patience.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
