Focus Settings for Panning Photography? | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Horacio G. -- “What is the best way to capture cars in focus while trying to do panning shots? Should I pre-focus somewhere on the road or use continuous focus and burst mode? After tons of tries, I’ve only managed to capture 2 photos of a car in focus while the background is blurry from the panning motion.”
