That panning challenge.....

We all have to do it but look at the background too! I positioned myself to see the poppy plot over the road and the cars aren't going that fast so it was not hard!

always fun to try this shot.
you did well.

[Chris]

I tried this at a race course and made a right mess of it!

[Maggiemae]

@gooner46 well, Chris, try again - i have only seen I done well once and it would be so good!

[Jo]

Great shot - never used panning myself.

[Rick Schies]

I have tried a few times, and most of the time my shot comes out missing some of the clarity

[Carole Imes]

You did well! Love that pop of color.

[Deb]

Nice job, Maggiemae! I've not tried panning.

[Corrie]

I still have to master this, I struggle with it!

[Pat Knowles]

I have a couple of panning shots I took in Blackpool & it's not easy to do...you got the background blurred & car clear...well done!

[katy]

Never easy to do and you have accomplished it with panache! (another P word for the poppies!)

[Kerri]

Very cool shot

[Tremerryn]

That's very clever - it seems to have an luminous effect and you have got the speed down to a tee.

[Molly]

Well done!

[Yvonne]

I still struggle with this. You did fabulous, Maggiemae.

[Heidi Parnell]

well done maggiemae it looks great!

[Gillian]

I seem to see the poppies still blurred. Not quite sure about this, Maggie.

[Maggiemae]

The background is blurred on a panning shot. You use a slow speed and when the car goes past fast you press the shutter down ans at the same time, swing the camera at the same speed as the car to follow it! It's fun particularly with motorbikes!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Good shot. I am not good at panning yet.

[Terry]
