Panning is fun

I set the exposure at 1/30 and panned at this cyclist and shoot!

I cropped the slow walkers’ feet and legs out.

They all sound very violent.

Great shot and non-violent. Love the blur of the wheels and the reflection on the road. I have to learn how to pan!

@princessleia please try and tag it as technique15.

Yes, it does sound rather violent out of context! You shot the poor cyclist and cut off people's legs!! This looks great. I notice the reflection of the bike on the ground. You make a difficult task look so easy.

This looks just right- I can see how fast the wheel is going round yet you have the rider is really good focus!

very nice. I like the pov and the reflections on the road

[Lisa Poland]

新西兰的自行车和国内的不一样，没有挡泥板不会甩一后背泥吗。我用s档拍了几次老是有些黑，不知该调哪

[Dakotaburns]

Nice capture.

[Ian McGuire]

i always suspected your misbehaving would eventually lead to violence...:)......panning, something else i have to learn....gak!

[Kareen King]

What fun pov! Neat capture!

[Lisa Stein]

Cool POV!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great job on the panning! The shot came out really well. I always laugh at myself when I write "happy shooting"- it just sounds so odd!

[Kathie]

Interesting shot from on high.

[Sharon Simpson]

Great panning, Yao! Too bad he wasn't looking up at you and smiling! It's fantastic that you are always trying something new.....you keep me busy thinking!

[Babs]

Great panning. Love the reflection on the road. We can get very violent with our photography can't we - shooting and chopping off people's legs. all good fun though.

[kali]

good one, I like the angle, and that the wheel is slightly blurred so you can still see it is in motion

[Lisa]

Well done, and your comments made me smile.

[Catherine Pace]

ha ha - looks like hes cycling through a flood - and violence cant be avoided by a dedicated photographer !
