Panning, HA by shesnapped

Panning, HA

My Get Pushed challenge this week was to take a panning shot. This is the best one ... sad. Panning is HARD!!! I tried several different times throughout the week. Not sure exactly what I'm missing, but I did learn several things. 1. Don't bother with night panning. 2. Keep both eyes open so you can continue to follow the object. 3. FOLLOW THE OBJECT!

That being said, I actually did enjoy the challenge, and I'm going to put together a collage of the most epic fails I got this week.
@maaayke Here ya go! Thanks for the challenge. I may not have succeeded, but I had fun, and I definitely learned a thing or two!

Here's another start to follow the car before you click the shutter it helps.

Wonderful panning. I have not dared to try that yet.

Panning is very hard. I agree, especially if the subject is moving fast.

I'm glad you enjoyed it even though the endresult isn't what you wanted. When I was challenged to try panning my first attempts failed as well, then I watched a lot of panning tutorials on YouTube and tried again. I did get some parts of my object in focus that time, it was defenitely not the best, but it's a start, just keep trying!

@maaayke Thanks Maayke! I hadn't thought about YouTube. I may search that out!

Very hard. For me the ratio has been about 100 to one (bad to semi decent)
