Really good example of panning, so much motion blur but your subjects on in focus. I like the bottom left beign empty for the scooters to ride into.

Hi Will,
Well 4 out of 200 ain't bad if they're as good as this. Panning isn't something I have the patience for at this point in my learning curve...still trying to remember to change my fstop back from whatever I had it set to (or the ISO)
This worked really well....if it was one fo the ffew that worked you got really luck with the second scooter and the car as they are really well placed. Gives a good feel to the bustle of an Asian town.
Cheers
Mark

Hi Will.
This is an impressive shot. My eyes basically drift of the screen following the motion. Well captured.

Sharpness is perfect here in the foreground, while you got the speed effect so well in the background. All these metallic colours are very well rendered as well. Excellent job. Congratulations.

Hi Will, Good result in a difficult task of panning. One of the many things ahead to try to master. Good to see this veryy typical view of Taiwanese lifestyle. Good work. Murray.

Hi Will, I like this one as it is - I think the space in ffront of the scooter is fine - gives the imagination space to fill the gap with the forward movement. It's great how you describe your success rate with panning shots - so many people look at images, try out ideas and give up at the first hurdles - we just have to keep working at it so often! Well I do anyway!

best wishes Kev

Hi Will,
Good one! Nice focus on the gal and guy. I think the crop works fine as it is; you ask about the lower left corner: I think that in order for the dynamism to work, we should have that strip of road ahead, so as to envision where our bikers will be in the next split second. Well, I just noticed I agree with Elaine on this one.
