panned and busted

for get pushed this past week @lynbonn challenged me to panning... this is a major challenge for me... i suck at panning.. plus i can never find a decent backdrop... anyhoo... this one kind of worked although the light is muddly and in the wrong place... i could have cropped it down but then i think it would have lost the sense of place which i think is needed for a panning shot...

(Lynda did say there would be extra points for a panning shot that is not on the street... technically this is on a walking / bike path, but i 'spect that's rather pushing it ;p)

The light is especially good in this movement photo! He's even looking at you - or did you set him up?

[Marnie]

Panning? Yep. Busted? Yep. Great shot? Yep.

@maggiemae not a set up shot... and yeah, he totally busted me ;p

Great panning - and he probably cycled home thinking how famous he must be!

[Debbie]

Well done. I always struggle with this too. It looks like you got sprung by the biker... :)

Great sense of movement in this neat shot

[summerfield]

i think this is a great panning shot and i think he liked having his photo taken by that smile on his face! aces!

[4rky]

Busted! But terrific panning shot :)

[Wendy]

A wonderful panning shot! And I do like the fact that he caught you and smiled - it really adds emotion to this shot.
Your processing is exquisite with the white shirt of the cyclist standing out so sharply against everything else.
Well done!
