Inadvertant long exposure [Buteo buteo]

I was on my way home and spotted a Common Buzzard taking off from a field. I pulled over to the side of the road
and grabbed a few shots, with the settings I had used ealier in better light. The shutter speed was way down
(1/25s with 700mm focal length) so I'm surprised anything came out of it. I guess for once I got somewhat lucky
with the panning.

What do you think, does it work?

I like!

In fact, if you'd said it was deliberate, I'd believe you!

I like the sense of motion on this one. Good job Anders.

Great sense of motion! painting like! 700mm???

Thanks guys!

I think you hit the jackpot Anders. 1/25s panning and you got the head and body in focus. Almost a miracle in my book. Nice job man.

Doesn't really work for me but it does show you have some panning skills for sure.

Zip

great shot !!

nice combo, have to try it...sometime

Nice accident! I love it.

Hi Andres,
unusal shot, has a very arty look, doesn't really work for me, I think the bird looks too blue which make it look more unreal,
all in all good catch,

Don't you love when accidents turn out better than you expect, nice capture

Great shot, the effect is nice looking
