My 1st. Panning Attempt

Here's my 1st. feeble attempt on panning. These shots were taken at an Auto-X event at Giants Stadium. I don't really know what I'm doing, so any comments & criticisms are welcomed!! BTW, the shutter was at 1/80 on all the shots. Thanks!

I know the car is cut-off, but I had to post this pic. The FD3S is my dream car.

thats looks pretty good for your first time. i haven't had the chance to take pan shots so i can't offer you any advice. keep it up though!

last one for me

Your composition is the best on the last one, but it is probably the weakest panning. The rest have some great panning, but the composition needs some work. Keep it up!

Great shots! Your first time? I doubt it... haha just coz they look so good!!!
The cars are so sharp, loved it! But with 1/80 thats quite a slow shutter... you handled that VERY well thou!

And yea FD is the best looking one i reckon!
Keep it up!

^ Thanks for the kind words. The shots above were taken at the end of the day. You should see the very 1st. shots of the day. They look like Picasso paintings. After a couple of shots (more like 150), I started to get into the groove of panning! It's fun stuff! Can't wait until this weekend's auto-x. Now the question is, how am I going to take pics while running the coarse. hmm..

haha, same here, i got some Picasso paintings and 'cars-parked-on-the-track' shots in my first panning trip too!
But once you in it, its all good, fun stuff as u said!
Good luck at the auto-x.

I like #2 the best. I think you did well. The car is positioned well in the frame for my taste. You've left room in front, for the car to move thru the frame.

Thanks for the kind words!

athy: I erased all the Picasso paintings from my card. So there can be no evidence of my newbness. lol

I'd be very happy if i had shot these for my first time! Good job mate
