First panning shot - London Bus

[troypiggo]

Piccadilly Circus, London. Were waiting for some friends and there were heaps of the iconic red double-decker buses going past, so thought I'd try some panning shots. I liked this one best - the bus came out the sharpest.

Thanks for the tips mate. Some of those racing car shots are awesome.

Hi Rob! Wow - this is an old shot :)

I'm interested and I'd like to talk about it. Can you PM me with more info?

might try to get closer to the street and have no distracting fences blocking the street... but other than that, great start.

Thanks mate. (I think) I've come a fair way since taking that shot over a year ago, although I don't see the opportunity for panning/traffic shots that often.
