First tries at rolling and panning shots

These are from the last few weeks, all in all I'm satisfied with the rolling shots, however panning is another story, (lots of throwaways)

the panning shots i was using Tv mode with shutter around 1/50 same with rolling shots.

4 is my fav panning shot. All your rolling shots I like.

I am nooooooo good at panning.

1/50 is pretty hard to pan at, especially for someone new. They look pretty good for that slow though.

Try at a higher shutter speed and work your way down. I find it helpful to try and focus only on the focal point you are using and keeping it over a single part of the subject. I find trying to keep the point over a riders helmet or a door number helps me.

Yeah, even for someone who pans a LOT, 1/50 is tough. Start at around 1/250. You'll see some motion blur and have lots more keepers.

The rolling shots look nice - I would try to watch for signs and other clutter in the background and minimize them as much as possible.

Will try to tweak my techniques next time, I think drift nirvana is coming around in a few weeks.

you know I didnt even think about roadside clutter when i was doing those shots bit I have this road in mind for future rolling shots.

one question: do you guys use monopod/tripods when panning?

Go out & practice with traffic.

No. They will just get in your way. First Attempt at Panning

I like your shots. They're very nice! My favorite is the red IS you shot. I would get your sensor cleaned, it looks very dirty! Keep working on the panning, you're getting there!
