 I didn't have the chance to take anything at lunch and decided to take a walk and then pictures after work. Rain. Again. I take the long way home to maybe get some of those scarce spring flowers and see about 6 deer slowly walking through a puddle alongside the road just begging to have their picture taken. Camera was in trunk because I never got it out for picture because of the rain.

So desperate to get a shot today, I stand in my garage, in the cold, and take shot after shot of cars going by. It was actually fun because I haven't done much panning. Out of about 100 this is the best.

Zoom, zoom, zoom! Wait! that's not a...oh, this is embarrassing - it's been three years since I've watched TV, and I can't remember which car is a zoom, zoom, zoom. In any case... Zoom, zoom zoom!

Way to make lemonade out of lemons, right? This is VERY COOL!!! I love the reflection in all that motion -- and the angle. Quite artistic!!

Looks like a glossy car brochure image. I love the blur and the softness it made. Nice job. I am a huge fan of diagonal lines and with him going "uphill" it really adds a nice linear quality. Good colors as well.

Looks good - the colour is excellent and the motion blur works well

Love the tilt, it adds so much to the image. Excellent panning as well. Great job! :)

Nice panning! This is one technique which I could use some practice with myself. You nailed it!

Wonderful panning! I've taken a few shots in the past in the style of panning, and haven't achieved this high of quality. This is really sharp looking image! I really like the smoothness of the car. Excellent job.
