Default one wheel or two

There's a lot to love about Savannah, GA. One of my favorite things is the bicycle friendly atmosphere topped with some wild bikes due to the art school in town. Today I saw this giraffe unicycle that was about 8 feet tall. Also, it's a great place to practice the whole panning technique. Always appreciate your thoughts and thanks for looking.

Love the angle in the 2nd one...the panning is really good and you can feel the speed of the bike rider. Ive always wanted to go to Savannah so that might be on my next vacation trip.

These are good shots specially when you tilted the camera. Looks like you mastered the art of Panning: I could also feel the speed of the rider.

If I tried something like that there would be pain in my future. Those pictures are great... They really portray motion. Good job!

Thanks, Mark. You know it does look treacherous, I'm not sure how he got up there, nor how he got down.

Thanks, I had to crop a little because I got a lot steep on the angle originally.

Thanks so much. You should visit Savannah, and when you do I'd be happy to give any advice on what to do, where eat, etc.

Thanks for the kind words, but I think I just got lucky on this time as far as panning.

I agree that looks like a long way to call. Thanks for the comment.
