Photo-a-day

panning is the hardest thing in photography ive done so far. The amount of sharp shots i got were abysmal. But I will keep on practising.

Try your local GA field that has a school on a calm sunny day. You will get lots of chance to practice on little Cessenas that are doing a third of the speed, without deafening yourself!

they werent that loud, I dont stand by the runway as they are 300mm or 420mm shots. One thing that concerns me with panning at airshows is every 10m they have these speaker boxes on poles for commentary, wouldnt panning make it harder to avoid getting those in your frame? Anyways I bought a tokina lens 28-70 2.8 lens for £150 today for use on digital and film decided to spend a couple of mins practising panning

It's a bit noisy and lacks detail but I loved this shot:

Hmm I'll ask my rotary friend next time I see him, but I'm assuming the normal rules are not observed when inverting!

That moment when
a) you only have your little camera on you (at least I had something)
and
b) you forget you've left it in the wrong mode (jpeg only..)

But still, not bad for a compact in jpeg mode.
