You pan at a speed to get the subject at the point you want it in the frame if that makes sense, use backbutton focus to keep focussing, camera set in continuous drive and fire a series of shots.

I don't think Chris is with backbutton focussing as yet

I set it up on my 7D quite easily, I believe the 60D is the same procedure.

If she isn't with backbutton focussing then I guess setting the focus mode to AI Servo is the next best thing.

I have the button..aparantly!

[hssutton]

Yes Chris you do have a button you can configure, did you follow the link I posted earlier?

Here is a better tutorial, it'd for the 7D but I'm not sure if the 60D is identical, but even so it will help.

My first attempt.
OMG this is hard, I still have to practice a lot...

[hssutton]

Much better than my first attempt, you did manage to keep the camera on an horizontal plane.

My attempts so far have been pretty poor. I think I need a lot more practise!
