Capturing Moving Subjects 1

Hi All,

Welcome to My Photographic Observations.

One of the things I like to practise with my camera is a technique called panning.
The idea of panning is moving at the same speed as the subject to give the impression the subject is moving fast or to convey movement.

In this photograph below I practised on a few cyclists that were zipping by. I tried to keep the background with some sort of foliage or objects as a plain horizon would have been difficult.
Its not easy and I had a few or more than a few that didn't work as you need to keep the subject sharp also.

On top of that I needed to make the wheels look like they were moving also.

This was the best out of the many I took that morning. I cant say its perfect but am sharing as I hope to continue the series over time so I can gauge my improvement.

Thank you for taiking the time to read. If you have any comments please leave in comment section down below as I would love to hear your thoughts.
