Panning in the sky… or, maybe, just my first panning attempt. Why a flying aircraft? I don’t know, I was just probably testing my new Nikon at the time, standing outside of the Los Angeles International airport and watching this Alaska Airlines’ Boeing 737-400 (734) land. The funny part is, while I was trying to catch all of these different airlines pass above me (every 5 minutes or so), I had no idea about the panning technique. Thanks to many members of this site for sharing their knowledge.

Hello Alana,
Thats a lovely panning attmept. You've managed great technical quality with perfect sharpenss of the plane and excellent details on it. Also good classic compo of main subject being placed off-centre. Nice colours too. Well taken.
Hv a nice weekend,

Hi Alana, a nice photo with good sharpness in the aircraft. Nice background and panning effect.

Hi Alana,
Nicely captured and very nicely composed. Motion blur on tops of vegetation underneath helps increase sense of movement of the airplane. Great shot.

Hu Alana!
Verry nice composition with the plane at the perfect place.The quality of this image is perfect,it looks like 3D and I like the bright blue color of the sky.
Regards,Leo

I love panning shots and I think this is a very original attempt, Alana. The result is a marvellous painting (as many of your shots) on the sky with strong colors and a good sense of motion. The freezing of the big bird is very well suceeded. Congratulations for the excellent work on your gallery (even if with some doubts about the excess of pp, the images are increadible attractive!).
Friendly kisses,
Ricardo

Very cool...very, very cool. Nice job.

Hi Alana,
Excellent shot showing the 737 sharp against beautiful blue sky and motion blurred background. Alaska Airlines has also a very nice livery. Well composed leaving room towards the direction of movement.

THis is really good Alana. The colour of the sky is beautifully and your technique is excellent. The panning has given a great sense of movement to this image.
Good work.
