Default My 1st Panning Attempt

This is one of my first few attempts at panning a subject....I think the truck could have been clearer, but I guess it'll get better with practice.

SugarMama, Welcome

First attempt turned out pretty good, and will get better with practice. A higher shutter speed would stop rotation of wheel, hubcaps would show detail. This is composed well, maybe less of sky and right side would help.

Default panning

A little trick i learnt for panning is to stand facing towards where you will finish panning and then turn your top half back to were you are going to start. This helps heaps with gettin a smooth pan.

My first reaction was, "WOW!" If that's your first ever attempt, that's excellent! Bravo, I expected to see the truck look a lot fuzzier!

Thanks for the comments and tips everyone! And yes, that was my first try. The next 3-4 that I did were actually worse. LOL
