Here I used the same setting as in exercise 4 but removed the camera from the tripod to follow the motion of the tyre.
Again a reasonably high ISO of 1600 was required for the faster shutter speeds.

I wasn't surprised that from 1/1250s to 1/320s (1-3) the tyre was practically frozen giving nothing away of it's movement across the decking. Although I was surprise that at 1/125s (4) motion blur was beginning to show, just a slight overall blur but enough for the sharpness of the previous images to notice. At 1/60s (5) and 1/30s (6) we really start to get some signs of movement but still managing to keep some sharpness in the tyre, giving an all round feel of the tyre travelling across the decking. For me the next 3 images (7-9) 1/15s to 1/4s are my favourites, there is just enough blurring of the background without too much distortion to give a real feeling of motion and in these images there is also a soft blur on the tyre surface that gives the viewer the notion of it turning as it rolls. This also seems to give a clue to the direction of movement (left to right) which again feeds more information to the viewer. Images 10 and 11 at 1/2s and 1s have far too much blurring for this particular scene but still has its place where perhaps confusion was the desired effect in the image.
So overall, between this and the previous exercise I would have to say I prefer the panning style and in particular image 8 as the one that works best at giving the desired feeling of movement from the tyre. It is perhaps that I caught it slightly early and hence a slightly different angle that it makes me feel as though the tyre is hurtling along with no intention of stopping. But with the smooth blurring of the tyre itself and the very faint detail in the background it works well as an image wanting to show motion.
