Excellent pan!

Lia from Atlanta, United States

Nice! I love it! Question, how do you capture this picture when the object is in movement? I guess it helps to have a nicer camera? Every time I try to take pictures of moving (a bit fast) objects they look blurry... still a lot to learn :)
(email me if you get a chance :) )

@Lia: Thanks Lia - I sent you an email with more info but basically it is a technique called panning where you try to follow the subject at the same speed they are moving while taking a shot with a slower shutter speed.

Great composition and blur. Tripod or hand held?

@Ryan: Thanks all!
Ryan this was handheld. I have IS on my lens so it helps keep the sharpness while panning.

Fantastic blurring...did you saturate the colours a little...those purples and blues are fantastic. I like the rushing feeling of this picture.

@Colour blind: I did tweak the colors in a combination of Lightroom and messing with each channel in Levels in CS2... I didn't set out to bring out the purple but I liked the way it popped out too!

Cool horse. Nice sense of motion. Interesting composition in terms of cutting the carriage in half.

Nice shot. Those carriage wheels blurring look cool. I can feel this photo moving.
