Thanks Tomas,
Panning is very hard. Much harder than I thought it would be. I took probably a hundred photos while panning and this may be the only one that half ways turned out. But I will just have to keep trying.

Sandi, very nice catch. LOLOLOL, I have tried to get a good pan shot more times than I can keep count on and still don't have one as nice as this. Great shot. #9607222

Sandi,

Great panning shot of a guy and his gal
on a fast, red motorcycle. Keep
experimenting, but this one communicates
freedom, speed, and the joys of life
on a hot red motorcycle! Good job.

Sandi, P.S.

One suggestion to improve your image is to crop the top half of your trees--
whic highlights the red motorcycle
and passengers. Leave about an inch
above their heads. I tried it and it
really brought out your speeding
motorcycle!

Thanks Lou,
That is a great idea. I was just not sure how to crop this. I was kind of disappointed with my panning shots. Unfortunately this was the best one I took. But I will keep trying

Sandi, P.S x 2

Cropping is done by using your edit
program, hit trim and it will give
you a cropping square. Use your
pointer to bring down the top line
to crop out a lot of the forest
background. Use your judgment in
doing this. To emphasize the
motorcycle, enlarge it one time.
By enlarging it, you are showing the
power and speed of the cycle.
Play with it and see what you get.

Thaks Lou, I do know how to crop, I just worded that last response incorrectly. I was just not sure how to crop it to make it a better photo. I like your idea so I will try it. Thanks

Sandi, you don't have to be desappointed about panning photos. This kind of photos always have a lot of discard material, but your photo is really good.
One tip for better results:
The movement of the camera when you press the shutter button, could impact the right focus, and a good solution is to set the camera drive in high speed repetition, because the first one could be impacted by that vertical movement of the camera, but not the other, because they was shot without press the button.
Did you understand me? I hope yes. Excuse me about my english!!!

Tomas, that does make sense and I will have to try that. Thank you for your continued support.
