The first warm weekend day of Spring for this year brought out the walkers to the Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool, New York. Joining them were rollerbladers, bikers and skateboarders.

Panning is a fun photographic technique to learn and use. Gives a WOW factor to a photo. Click here for an article I wrote about the Art of Panning.
to my personal journal through my viewfinder. A place where I leave the world behind and try to find the spirit of what I am seeing.

Nice job Scott! It was you who got me interested in panning. I’ve been practicing. Here are a couple of my latest shots.

It was warm for a couple of days. When the western US is cold, the eastern US is warm. 🙂 Back to cold rain and some wet snow this week.

Nice work on this.
Panning is not something I have mastered. I have only tried it once though lol. I got a sharp focus on the subject but the subject was not where I wanted it in the frame.

Laurie, this is the first time I tried panning with my camera turned in a portrait orientation. It takes practice but I love the results.

Great panning, Scott. Speed and calm movements at the same time. I´m sure the scateboarder would be proud to have this hanging at his wall as a poster.

This is a really great shot, it just shouts movement, speed, pleasure and joy. While at the same time capturing in detail the boarders features.

Super image, Scott. I clicked on the link, and I read your article. Then I ran it off (since I’m sure to forget those suggested shutter speeds). Great photo, great article. I’ve never tried panning before as it looks tough, but your article makes me want to try. It will be a goal for this month. Thanks, Mitch

Don’t forget to let us know your results. Panning is fun but don’t get discouraged if you only get a few out of many. It’s the few which make it worth the effort.

Thanks, Buckeroomama (great handle, btw). This photo floored me when I opened it up on my laptop at full resolution, too.
