I've tested almost all of Google Pixel’s photo modes, including Long Exposure to capture otherworldly oceanscapes with motion blur, and the Night Mode for dynamic photos of a once-in-a-lifetime Northern Lights event. But I’ve been waiting patiently for a good opportunity to put another mode through its paces – Action Pan – and I got my chance recently, at a MotoGP event.
For the uninitiated, the world-touring MotoGP is the motorbiking equivalent of Formula One, and the highest level of road racing on two wheels. Riders are pushing 300BHP motorbikes that weigh just 346lb / 157kg up to speeds of around 360kmh / 215mph: it’s fast, it’s noisy, it’s dangerous, and I got my first taste of it recently in Aragon, Spain.
