It's the kind of viper I expected. Definitely an improvement on the panning technique. Unfortunately the car is moving too slowly for the selected shutter speed, so most of the sensation of moving is lost - the car could just be parked there. Motion blur with short focal lengths is hard; the change of angle from the start to the end of the shot mean you can't get the front and back of the car crisp, even when the central area is nicely sharp. This is also a shot where some (diffuse) fill flash would probably help; the visible part of the primary subject is almost totally in shadow. Beyond that, I'm not sure. There's nothing really wrong with the shot, but it doesn't do anything for me, either. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
