mmm, you are not kidding. (although I like Diet Cherry Coke even better).

Very cool effect. I like the way the words jump at you, and I like the condensation on the can -- the shot overall is maybe a teeny bit dark?

Originally posted by citymars: Shutter: 1/50sec -- I usually use 1/60, but then I haven't done many of these. I'll have to try it your way, as mine don't turn out so well! Thanks for the story. I'll bet you have nice kids. The trouble with telling kids not to grow up too fast is that it never makes sense until you are over the hump and trying to slow down. Same as it ever was, I guess.

I do have nice kids, thank you. :)

re: shutter speed: assuming, as was the case here, that I'll have plenty of chances to get the shot (he was riding his bike back and forth on the street in front of our house), I usually start out with the shutter as slow as the light will allow, and do a lot of bracketing, getting the shutter gradually faster. I prefer a really blurry blur, like say 1/20th, but getting a good sharp shot at that speed is pretty much pure luck, especially without a tripod. Usually I get lucky around 1/40th.

Motion panning was one of the first photography "tricks" I learned about, and it's still one of my favorites.
