Sorry Team Suck, I tried hard for the brown ribbon. But 120 out of 128? I demand a recount. Those votes over 4 look very suspicious to me.

Next time I need to be sure there is an EMT crew standing by.

Hmmm, Muybridge series?

Hmmm, this shot gives me ideas. I love when a shot does this. With a long focal length, an extremely long exposure (5 seconds or so), and keeping the panning on the cart the whole time I bet this would be tremendous. High speed background motion, perfectly focused cart, blurrly legs.... I might have to try this. Probably take a few hundred shots to get the cart in sharp focus for that long of an exposure. Three different senses of motion. A little off the critiquing really but just rambling things as they come to mind...

Great ideas come from the simpliest photos.

As for the photo itself in this challenge, I think it was a great idea just a bit hard to sell to the motion panning voters. Exposure was good, angle was terrific, and the technique of panning was strong (but short lived).

The problem is I don't have any recognizable style or models (yet) so people could vote more appropriately. There's always the next challenge though.

Looks like he's having fun! :) I like that you thought of a different subject from the dozens of bikes and cars. I think with a little more "zoom" in the man, you'd have done better. Like had him bent over making "vroom" noises and running instead of walking. Compositionally, it'd be better to give him a little more room above his head. I like that you got down to the level of the cart and shot up at him, though.

HArd to see the motion in the shot!
01/23/2007 01:39:14 PM
Where's the motion?
01/22/2007 08:27:59 PM
Where is the motion panning?
01/22/2007 03:30:25 AM
IMO DNMC
01/21/2007 10:57:34 PM
sorry, but i wish he was moving just a bit faster. i know this may have been too much to ask, but next time, maybe get him to speed it up a notch.

"go, grandaddy, go. run for the camera. we've got your meds. just don't slip and break a hip. then again, maybe we can sue the store..."

Not enough motion
01/20/2007 11:33:19 PM
The worlds slowest pan?

DNMC? This isn't a bad photo, but would anyone enter this in a 'motion panning' challenge?
01/20/2007 07:30:37 PM
Nice clear focus on the subject, but there is no motion blur in the background, so this really does not meet the challenge.
01/20/2007 02:50:47 PM
Nice Moiré-like pattern!

Not enough motion
01/20/2007 01:42:23 AM
It seems like you ran out of time and shot the first person walking into Costco. The background is unappealing and the velocity is too low.
01/19/2007 11:45:30 PM
Is there a point to this picture?
01/19/2007 09:40:42 PM
not motion panning - try for a slower shutter speed.
01/19/2007 09:12:20 PM
cute, but DNMC
01/18/2007 07:40:40 PM
Well I guess thats panning, the rules did not say it had to be fast panning :) nice work

I don't really see any motion.
01/18/2007 02:17:56 PM
no motion...
01/18/2007 06:45:23 AM
A good sharp capture but i i cant find enough motion here. A DNMC for me
01/17/2007 04:41:00 PM
Might try a subject with a little more speed next time.
01/17/2007 03:42:16 PM
I don't see motion panning.
01/17/2007 03:30:18 PM
I don't really get any sense of movement from this shot.
01/17/2007 02:54:44 PM
Motion Panning? Looks like a happy guy though!
01/17/2007 01:42:36 PM
I wouldn't say that pushing a grocery cart is the most exciting motion panning subject but you got the idea right. You might consider a longer exposure time to show more background motion in the capture. That is a key to great motion panning imagery.
01/17/2007 12:26:37 PM
fun picture but not a lot of motion
01/17/2007 11:07:24 AM
looks more like stopped motion to me
01/17/2007 09:54:37 AM
DNMC
01/17/2007 09:19:57 AM
Not enough blur in the backround
01/17/2007 07:04:54 AM
nice composition

Maybe if he was moving a little faster.
01/17/2007 06:24:59 AM
I dont think this situation can be panned can it?
01/17/2007 01:31:32 AM
Not really a heck of a lot of panning evident, or maybe your shutter speed was just a little too fast.
01/17/2007 01:10:52 AM
Um...not a lot of panning happening here.
01/17/2007 12:28:31 AM
Once again wheres the motion panning... SOrry to be mean but let me guess u tried it in auto? Try slowing the shutter speed a bit to capture more background motion.
