Promenade avec papa, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

As son as I saw this scene, I decided to try a panning shot, so I had to decrease the "speed", frame and presse the shutter while following the mobile. I took 2 pictures, this is the first one full frame, the second one being scrapped at once.

Camera data: 1/8s f27 extension lens 95 mm

I let you for a fortnight, going to visit my family in Manchester. Take care

Bonjour Claude,

Another fine "panning" shot, perfectly taken, of this father towing his children in their little buggy. I remember that my daughter and her husband had a similar contraption when their children were quite small.

You have captured the moment perfectly and the cyclist and the buggy stand out perfectly against the darker and blurred background. very well done for having used such a very slow shutter speed (1/8 second) at 95mm focal length - you must have had a very steady hand and "panned" very successfully.

Brilliant!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Have a wonderful trip to Manchester!

Nice panning picture, try in future F/8 and 250 the result would yet are better.
Composition and presentation are very well photographed.
Very well done, TfS.

Hi Claude
This is my cuppa Claude!
That's about as descriptive as you get on this of a man riding a bike and his baby on that carrier! It's a very powerful dynamic panning shot in time beautified by great sense of blurry high speed movement as you have the eye popping cheery guy in good focus and the darker background enhancing the colour effect superbly. A delightful capture at 95mm that I have never tried before - I normally go for short focal length- which is a great achievement here. I have few more to go on same theme, will post later. Great effort, my compliments.
Best wishes

Brilliant technique with perfect timing and just the right amount of blur.
Enjoy your time with the family!

Ciao Clodo

A good panning shot. The subjects could have been a little sharper, but we can't have everything and I think it's a fun, dynamic and colourful composition.

Bonne amities
