Wake Boarding

We went to a beach 10 minutes from our house... Saratoga Beach. This is my pathetic attempt at panning. I totally understand the concept in theory but can never seem to get the subject in total focus! Oh well, I still liked the blurry effect.

Here's another shot from today: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2013-07-16

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Kd Wallis]

I think it's neat! The movement is kewl!!!

[Barbara Havrot]

Looks good to me! Especially the blurred person behind and the legs while keeping the body in focus.

[Kelly]

Good enough! It is tricky!

[Laly]

Looks good to me too! I tried panning once, not easy!

[Taffy]

Love the movement in this shot.

[Edie]

I think it's great. Love the figure behind. I tried this once too with very little success.

[Suse♡]

I actually love the blurriness on the feets, love the sense of movement. Great summer fun

[bkb in the city]

Cool shot

[Steff Guayante]

such a cool shot!! Love all the action

[Lisa Stein]

Great motion and blur! Very cool!

[Maggiemae]

He got plenty of exercise too! It either works or it doesnt but the effect is still good!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I took my "at the time" 16 year old niece and 13 year old nephew to the beach last summer. They did this. And this pic pretty much capture the movement and excitement!

[Paul King]

Amazing motion blur it almost looks surreal : brilliant Kim

[Abhijit]

Awesome action shot

[Sarah White]

I think it's a really cool shot.

[Rachel]

Fab action shot

[Marie]

Great shot!

[Lisa]

Love the motion blur - that looks like a lot of fun! : )

[Kate Goring]

Wonderful sense of movement.

[April Milani]

Fantastic shot

[Al Bailey]

Fab motion blur ...... have not tried panning yet - its looks tough! :)

[Humphrey Hippo]

Fun shot! Have you tried pre-focussing on manual focus? I tried it at a track day and it sort of worked. ;)

[Phil]

I love the determined look plus running action - reminds me of the six million dollar man somehow!

[KWind]

@humphreyhippo I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip!

[KWind]

@filsie65 I remember that show!! That's from a few years ago!!

[Phil]

@kwind My grandmother told me about it...............................................!!

[KWind]

@filsie65 Ha ha!!!

[Humphrey Hippo]

@kwind It also tends to be easier the further away you are - or that's been my experience. :)

[KWind]

@humphreyhippo I was RIGHT there so I'll step back next time. Thx

[Sue Rose]

Having tried this last week, I know how difficult it is and this looks like a really good result. Love that the top half of him is in focus while you can see the motion in his legs.

[Jackie greenfield]

I think this is pretty cool shot, lovr the motion blur!

[paula365]

i like it too!! it does show movement and you can still see the subject. very nice!

[bardejov]

You've got it! I think it's pretty good.

[Wendy]

Cool effect!

[Jawo]

Love the blur effect...well done!

[Sarah J.]

I love the motion and colors. Unlike a track or road, skim boarders don't run by and ump on in exactly the same place. It makes panning much more hit or miss. But out of a 1000 shots if you get one it's gold.

[lunaksi]

I like the motion and colors - definitely not pathetic attempt!!!!

[Jennifer]

Love it, better than I could do at panning. Love the sense of speed.
