Things to focus on:
1. Blurriness
- from my own experience I know that developing a good panning technique is worth more than all the L lenses in the world. This will take time and practice. This means that if your subject is moving your camera has to keep moving too
- set camera to continuous shooting and keep the shutter button depressed
- keep shutter speeds up for now to compensate, try 1/800 or better
2. Quality. These photos are heavily compressed. This makes the file size small but quality suffers
- make sure your camera is set to take the maximum size and quality JPEGs
- make sure to save as max quality JPEG in your photo editor. If your editor doesn't give you that option don't use it
- do not use RAW unless you already know how to process such files
It's going to take a few steps to get your photos to match the upload guidelines. Don't worry about the 14 day wait. Only go to the airport in perfect light conditions (like the Westjet, not like the 747 and A319). Don't get frustrated along the way.
