Panning

[Rubey84]

i took this picture when i got off the bus. I had to do a panning shot for an assignment so i decided to give it a go. this is my fourth try, and it was almost perfect, except for the front wheel, there was a bump in the road

tell me what you think

[saish746]

it really came out nice, i like B&W selection

It is a lovely shot...I can alsmost feel the speed of the vehicle...The B/W also adds to the effect...Thank you for sharing..

This is not an easy shot to accomplish. The car is quite sharp. You have done an excellent job.

thanks, there was a nasty red line from the traffic light so turning it to b/w upped the contrast and made it look cleaner IMHO

Very cool, how fast do you think the Jeep was traveling? It is a bummer about the l. front wheel, but very cool looking shot nonetheless!!

I like it a lot. I think the b/w really works here, and I probably wouldn't have even noticed the front wheel, if you hadn't pointed it out.

Great shot. Can you explain how you took it? What you did?

the speed limit on the road is 40 but people usually get up to about 45 or 50. and it was a really bright day so i had my ISO at 100 and aperture at f/29 and a shutter speed of 1/10sec. i just stood on the side of the road and kept the camera as stable as possible when i rotated. i started rotating and released the shutter when it was almost perpendicular to me and followed through, that was the most important part. i left IS on also. i keep my camera on manual all the time eventhough im only starting out with photo and DSLRs. i just played with the settings untill it looked right and then started blasting away using the above technique at the intersection whenever a car came along. it was sheer luck that a sweet looking Jeep came along when i got it right. just trial and error. thank goodness for digital photography and an 8gb memory card.

oh and just a tip. if you are trying to do this with a car, i suggest scouting out a flat strip of road. i cant speak for other things like people or animals but for sharpness in cars, make sure there arent bumps in the road.
