My Get Pushed partner for this week - Lisa Poland @homeschoolmom - said: "Hi, For your Get Pushed challenge this week, I'd like for you to take a panning shot."
Here's a second try - the first is in my main 365 album today. Interestingly, the slow moving bike was more difficult to capture than the fast moving car because the bike-rider is moving independently of the bike.
Wow have you improved. I have played with this a lot and the slower moving objects are hard and things like birds who sometimes move erratically are hard. But this is better than I have been able to achieve. BRAVO
I have got panning and you got motion. One can see the peddling of the cyclist legs and the turning of the spokes in the wheel which are opposite from your panning effect of the background. I really like this capture Richard.
This one is excellent. The extra shadow is a big plus.
I must admit I often "cheat" on these panning shots. Photoshop layers and motion blur on the background, remembering to "context sensitive" remove the subject after putting it on another layer to make sure you don't get stray edge blurs. I haven't been found out yet, but I know you wouldn't cheat, not for a moment. ;)
My first project assignment at NYIP included a required panning shot. I can't tell you how many I took trying to get the subject clear. It was many. The one I ended up submitting from all I took still had blurry feet. Panning is NOT easy!
