Welcome to My Photographic Observations.
I'm continuing the series on moving subjects today as I practise my panning.
I was standing in a nice location with the low early morning light directly behind me. I happened to be situated on a main beach road close to Leighton Beach in North Fremantle. I had my shutter stopped down to about 1/80th of a second and as the cyclists were zipping by I would focus and rip of about 4 frames.
It is fun trying to practise and from memory i had a group focus going on my auto focus on my camera.
One interesting thing that happened was as I was making the photographs a car slowed down to a very slow crawl and a woman with a look of hate was taking my photograph.
I didn't think anything of it but about 15 mins later 2 police cars stopped on the side of the road and 4 police officers got out and 2 walked towards me.
They came to me and asked me what I was doing as they were investigating a complaint. I politely told them that I was making photographs and practising a technique called panning. I then asked if they wanted to see the photographs and then I showed the dozen or so that I had taken at that point.
I explained what i was trying to do and they then told me I was doing nothing wrong and that I could continue.
They wished me a good day and all of them left. I continued for about half an hour more and then left as the light was getting harsh.
Here is one of the better ones of the morning.
