Try panning to convey speed

Add a sense of speed to action shots with camera movement and shutter speed

When a fast subject goes across the frame, we can convey speed with a combination of camera movement and a slower shutter speed than you’d normally select. While 1/125 sec isn’t really slow, when combined with a car travelling over 100mph and some panning movement, the subject can be kept sharp while the background streaks. You must lock focus on the subject and move the camera with it, firing the shutter during the motion so you get smooth streaks in front and behind.
