Grassroots Honda: Panning Shots

The term 'pan' is the contraction of the word panorama and implies the horizontal scanning of a scene. The pan shot is more often used, however, for the purpose of following action or of giving movement to a scene that otherwise would be static. The pan has two main functions; first, to direct the attention from one place to another; second, to follow action or movement ~ (quoted from somewhere...)

From Rides
Panning shot ~ Take 1
Comment: 1st ever attempt at taking panning shots
Feeling: Clueless as ever, coz did not do homework *readup on how-to*; just simply hantam in burst mode
Settings: Shutter priority 1/00; f16; ISO100; EV -1
Verdict: CMI ~ Cannot-Make-It... coz this is about the only good shot

From Rides
~ Take 2: The Not-So-Pan Shot Pan Shot *like this also can call pan shot ka?? nothing, i just dig this accidental picture composition
=P

From Rides
~ Take 3: The 9-Shots

* All shots taken using EOS450D + EFS 18-55mm standard kit lens

Overall Verdict: I need to practice more...

Your panning didn't really work leh.. shuttle speed to fast i guess. Who's driving for you to pan huh? Here are some of my previous panning shots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/keeyew/sets/72157614289275512/

u misunderstand my statement, i mean your shuttle speed too fast. Need to use slower one.. the slower it is the better the effect is, of course the harder to shoot.
