Hi Sheralee,
I am your "Get Pushed" partner for week 103. I would like you to do a light painting photograph. Good Luck!

[Dawn Ulmer]

Excellent timing!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Caught in landing form, the pelican looks almost comical! Okay, no almost about it. It's downright hilarious! Great capture. A pelican could not be an easy thing to pan but you did it.

[Emiko]

Now you have me wonder what will be the landing scene like...lol. I imagined a cartoon-like landing...screeeechhhhh... :D
Still, a great panning shot.

[Sheralee S]

@heesc Thanks Hee, I didn't catch the landing this time but here is one from the previous time I went out there. I think it's just as you describe :) http://365project.org/bella_ss/some-more/2014-03-30

[Poppo Livy]

Great panning shot Sheralee

[Maggie]

Kinda looks like he's water-skiing. Good fun shot and great timing.

[Leanne M Williams]

ha ha ha ha ha fantastic capture and how on earth do you "pan" whilst taking a photo? An instant fav :-)

[Suse♡]

Super cool motion blur!

[Sheralee S]

@leanne333 Thanks Leanne! I was panning with the camera... as in moving the camera to follow the bird while clicking the shutter button which results in the bird staying sorta sharp and the background blurring because of the slow shutter speed :)

[Leanne M Williams]

@bella_ss That sounds so cool. Never heard of that technique before. Well done :-D

[Phil]

Brilliant, looks as if he's putting the brakes on for sure!

[Tabbycat]

Not Mr Percival...?? Great shot!

[Sheralee S]

@tabbycat No... distant relly, although people get them confused all the time... sadly Mr Percival passed away in 2009 :(

[Leslie]

Oh my... loving your work...

[Sheralee S]

@lesip Thank you Leslie! Also for the follow :)

[Nicole Campbell]

He looks so elegant coming in to land, you have captured this so well
