Panning - maybe??!!

I ended up with this image accidently - but looking at it I was hopeful that it may have accidently panned on the movement of the helicopte??
If so, this is a first ever for me!!! (even if accidental...) :) )

Wow. I hope that he is in control.

This looks great. A panning shot is one of those things I've never been able to do.

[Diana]

What a fabulous accident!

[Shutterbug]

Terrific shot. The helicopter is sharp and the background soft from the panning.

[haskar]

Great action shot.

[Jane Pittenger]

Panning for sure, accidental or not. Applause heard

@wakelys Hi Susan - it was pretty crazy - they were right down amongst the highrise - doing all sorts of stunts and manoeuvres. Such amazing pilots.

@helstor365 Thanks so much Helge - I've tried this a couple of times - with absolutely no success. So this was very exciting. Now that I know what ISO worked here I'm going to have another go - on purpose! :) Thanks again for your interest and encouragement. :)
