get pushed #4 - convertible by summerfield

get pushed #4 - convertible

my young partner this week, @brittanyyingling, pushed me to take an action shot.

standing in front of the building and waiting for a nice car, preferably red, to pass by so i can shoot it, or a really fast bicyclist. but, no such luck. and then came along this guy in his white convertible, mais pourquoi pas? he's a very well-behaved young driver. you can see the action as he's driving fast enough for my shot.

i had to straighten the photo up a bit so i lost a little bit around the frame. i don't know if i would do another action shot again this week, so this is my entry for the push.
@brittanyyingling - here's your action shot, kiddo.

Nice focus works very well on this.

@steeler - thank you, howard, but he's not on the cell phone. see http://one-photograph-a-day.blogspot.ca/2012/08/day-899-zoom.html because if he was, i'd have called the insurance companies' snit line and given his license plate number because i have a shot of his car from the front and back hehehe!

Summerfield this is a fantastic panning shot!! You don't need to do another one you already perfected it. Now it's on to newer challenges - like doing my push challenge FOR ME!!? I will get mine done, it's just a challenging challenge for me. Are challenges suppose to be a challenge?

It certainly works for an action shot

Great capture. I don't think I could ever pull something like this off.
