A very informative article. Thank you for your hard work and plentiful insights. I just wanted to ask for more information about other ways to shoot subjects in motion. I found this article: https://www.pixel77.com/motion-shots-beginners/ and wanted to know a bit more. Thanks!

In reply to Jen Packard. Nope, I find it to cumbersome and usually don't have one when I'm walking around doing street photography.

Great article! Do you ever use a tripod when panning?

Thanks for the article. Just joined the course and I am sure that it will help me to improve myself.

Here is a panning photo I took sometime ago. I will try to make some using your tips.

I’ve wanted to capture my husband at the track with the panning technique for a long time and never knew how. Thank you so much for your article on panning! I was able to capture it finally.

Ha! this comment made me giggle… but its so true! ‘Driving with hands at 10PM-2PM’ – kids today look at me as if I’ve lost a few marbles.

In reply to Adi. The focus is a little off, would love to see this car in more detail! Nice try though! :)

How did I miss this article? I love panning, and need to do more of it – had ONE good result with a race-car (stock car really), but lost the memory card!

You have explained it very well, clearly and concisely. Appreciate it!

In reply to alex comaya. so many people don't use a regular clock any more, that used to be a common reference point, now with digital LED clocks I guess I'll have to use other ways to explain it

In reply to Darlene Hildebrandt. Hi Darlene, in case you didn't get notified about it, see my comment above. For some reason Disqus seemed to be having an issue with comments the last couple days and I was unable to reply directly to you.

In reply to Steve Boer. Hi Darlene, I saw your reply here, but when I actually log in to respond, it disappears, really weird. Anyway, I was not as close here as you might think. I was using my 100-400mm lens at full length. A good arm workout when you're practicing panning shots :-)

In reply to Jeffrey Wardell. when you click "reply" and the box opens, in the bottom left hand corner is a little "photo icon", click it to add a photo directly into the comment
