Congrats, Alessandro!!! beautifully capture!! thanks so much for the sharing. This is similar to Rig Photography as seeing in many automobils panning advertising shots. Those bg are real motion panning blur (the purpose of panning for subject separation) and there's nothing to be disappointed about. Again, Congrats on the blue and well deserved!!!

Is this the shame shot paulbtw won a ribbon with in motion blur he clamped a camera to a kids rd about and did this shot... Nice image

I had similar idea to do the paul shot but to be fair it's not really panning as the camera is not following the subject, I did follow the subject and got hammered by the likes of Kevin and ray but it's funny how fickle the dpc voters are :)



its not motion panning though is it but a nice shot, i didnt vote in this challenge but i would have given it an 8

As I said in my original comment (in spite of giving you a 7), it is what I guessed it to be. You weren't motion panning (tracking a moving object with the camera from a fixed position). You were moving WITH the subject on the merry go round or whatever that is... so you were both "still" relative to each other. So it's a GREAT image, but one that failed to implement the technique required. Oh well, congrats anyway on the ribbon.

Kevin I don't know why you are so sure that the camera can't move with the subject. The description of the challenge doesn't say that. Even if you search on wikipedia it says that the effects can be achieved using several techniques like dolly tracks (my main idea came from cinema that's what I do for a living). Take a look here, no one says that the camera/photographer must be stationary. In any case, thank you for giving me a 7. I received 6 votes under 4 - not a surprise considering that after 10 votes I was at 5 :)

Ok well I'm guessing this shot will win, I don't know how you got her looking so comfortable, with a cup of tea, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing in there. But what bothers me is her hair is perfectly still, how can that be, when she is whizzing around!
