Failed ICM

I heard the engine of this one roaming at the roundabout and I had the time to pull out my camera. Of course I intended to focus on the car and capture the movement. But well... I failed. It is just a bad photo. The reason I posted it is the movement in the wheels.
On another level: I don't know how much and what you know of Romania. But I am sure my country is not famous for its impeccable roads. And I wonder WHY would one buy this type of car when the roads are as if bombarded... Not to mention we do not even have a complete highway/motorway across the country. It's like keeping a Beagle in a block of flats. Whatever, it's not my money they spend. But my logic fails. Yet, they also have a right to vote... and they have no other logic to deploy.
The car is more focused that the background so it does show some movement. Some people have more money than sense!!

Those wheels look amazing!

You may feel that this has failed but you still get the sense of movement especially the wheels.

I hear what you are saying about some people - they are here too. Ok we may have more motorways and better roads (although I'm not sure about that) so why have a car that can do 0 to 140 in x amount of seconds when we have speed limits... When I am being charitable I consider that maybe they haven't had the advantages of an enlightened upbringing. But most of the time I call them bad names when they roar down the street...

And I agree with everyone about this photo - I consider it a good effort at what is a hard technique (and anyway technique to me is the least interesting part of photography 🤣 having said that I'm always in awe of those who have spent time mastering it!)

I think you have done well - the panning thing still eludes me :) As for those that buy these fast, extremely expensive cars, don't get me started, like @boxplayer I have a long list of thoughts about that hahahaha

Marvelous pan motion!

You got the motion and to me that counts.

A lot of motion here :)

I like it and think you did exceptionally well! Great comments above too, I doubt I could achieve this.

You did better than you think

Just to own it is often the most importend reason. But you can take nice "speed" pic.`s of it.
You`re right. I even create my own landscapes by disision and edit.

I really like this result, intended or not.
I wondered the same thing when we visited Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is a hub for offshore banking and so there are some people making a lot of money. But what’s the point in having a Porche or a Lamborghini on an island that’s 14 km (9 miles) long and 8 km (5 miles) wide? Daft.

Let's assume in good faith that the car owner is a foreigner and not familiar with local road conditions. Otherwise, it's not such a bad picture.

I really like the motion of the wheels. I am thinking that they have more money then brains.

@pamalama My go-to thought is that such cars have to compensate for the lack of... (fill in the blanks)

I don’t think it is a failed shot at all Moni. It is a wonderful impressionist image.
