As for my horses I range from 500 to 250. Maybe this is where I need to become braver.

Regs,
PJG.
Dogs!

wrt becoming braver- my advice to students ref motor-racing shots is to go out and practice on the traffic; see just how slow with shutter speed you can go before you lose it. In the film days I used to do this without a film loaded, get to know the feel of your shutter release. Like you I'm learning with the V-Lux1; the release timing is different from the FZ-30 I used last year, despite the spec on paper!
