Blue Catfish in motion by francoise

Blue Catfish in motion

A successful panning shot (of many attempts as I happily passed the time while my husband shopped at Cabela's, which has big giant fish tanks. I ran back and forth trying to follow the carp, the sunfish, muskies. It was quite fun even though I bumped into several young children -- not sure people didn't think I was nuts.)
For get-pushed challenged to have motion as the subject of the picture. Although there are a couple shots that got more blur in the background, this one got the fish in the best focus.

Advent calendar to be opened on 12/10
Excellent panning shot, not easily executed!

see before I tried it for myself I had no real understanding of how panning can be a pain in the rectal cavity, cudos Francoise, well executed! We tried traffic and we were sat there (we being me and my son) for about 3 hours playing with times from 1/50 to 1/20, dealing with changing light, different vehical speeds exc,, Still mainly got fuzzy blurry messes! :D nice job on this xx fav
