Default first attempts at panning...

I attended a race meeting at Silverstone yesterday and tried my hand at panning shots. Not techniquely perfect by any means, but I am quite pleased for my first attempt!

Mighty good shots for your first effort. Mighty good shots even if you had been doing them for years.

These look like shots of an experienced photographer. Congrats on your great first attempt. You gave me an idea to what to experiment on this week after submitting my assignment to DPS.
