The Cyclist, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

At the end of the day, those that stayed back at the TE meeting decided to "play" and have some fun with some panning shots. I sucked at first but Sarju and Charles showed me the techniques and then, I started to do better. I know this shot is not all that great but it's one of the best from my panning collection. I'm still happy with how it turned out.

We sure had fun at this time.
Mines are worse then that,so bravo.We just have to practice more.
The guy is almost sharp,and you left him enough room to move in.
So 2 points for the hard work and the fun of experimenting.

Hi Harjit, very nice pan shot of this guy, well composed and timed. Very nice blur in the background and his upper body is in good focus.

Thanks, John

Hi Harjit,

You managed to show the movement of the biker. It really gives the sense of speed and velocity.

cheers

Hi Harjit,
You did very well on the panning. Starting at a cyclist is a good thing because the speed is not that high.
The real job comes later when shooting really fast scenes like this.
Nevertheless a very good try at 1/20...good work..!!!
Have a nice day, Henk

Hi Harjit,

Nice! I wish I had stayed to play with you guys. I need training on this technique. This one ooks very good to me I like the blurr on his legs giving well the ideia of mouvement. You managed to freeze well the image. Colors and contrasts are great. Bravo!

Flavia

Hi Harjit,
This is a very well composed moving rider with a very good sense of movement. Blurry background and the space in front make this picture really "moving".
