Panning

My get pushed partner Tineke challenged me to do panning. It's a great challenge but not so easy and I need a bit more practising. But I like the effect of blurred background and 'clear' moving subject. This one was the best of a series.

Lev running in our garden blowing the little windmill. He was willing to help me for a couple of minutes in the drizzle.

@tstb a bit of panning, I need to practise this a lot more, but I really like the effect. Thanks for the challenge!

Like this a lot - something I'm yet to try

[Joan Robillard]

I haven't been successful doing this with a person. Cars yes, but not a person running. Great shot.

I love it. I've tried with bikes and cars too. I think people are much harder as they are not moving as fast so not as easy to get that motion in the back ground. You've captured it well though :)

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely capture - the focus on the figure while the surround is blurred !

[Wendy Bowden]

Sweet capture

[Jan Rose]

Lovely capture, nice b/w.

[Linda H.Y. Hegland]

I know nothing about panning. I just think this is such a wonderful capture of a very sweet moment, Very nice

[Andy Mcculloch]

Great capture

i have only been able to do it with vehicles myself, but you have a very willing and active model here.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the way you've captured the energy of a running child.

[vstap]

Like that you got his face clear. Nice.

[Jo]

Great choice of black and white.

[Kathy]

Nice capture of movement.

[Rachel]

Nice panning! I have had this on my bucket list for ages too.

[Tineke]

Maar ik vind de foto prachtig, jij legt je lat heel hoog, maar je maakt ook heel bijzondere fotos. En je hebt een dankbaar onderwerp.

[Renata Jaroscakova]

That is a very nice picture with panning technique. I also plan to try it soon.

Little soul, so sweet
