As Paul says, Almost. To my eye it's a bit of camera shake (which is why the rear of the car is slightly blurred), plus the change in angle during the shot which makes the front of the car even more blurred than the rear). A K10D would help cut down on the camera shake :-) I assume the

Good shot. I like the contrast of the red on the pavement. Like Paul, it would be nice if the car was a bit more in focus, but i realize panning is hard. Dave On 10/17/07, Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Caught this on the way home with the new DS:

That works. The contrast between the red the darker cars works really well. But the dark vignetting (added in PP?) on the RHS is a bit too heavy IMO Cheers, Dave On 10/18/07, Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Caught this on the way home with the new DS:

Almost. Either a bit out of focus or a bit too much camera shake. Probably the latter as I can't quite find a focal point. Paul On Oct 17, 2007, at 9:36 PM, Adam Maas wrote: Caught this on the way home with the new DS: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mawz/1607393214/ Large/direct link:

Judging by the angle of the shot, I'd guess you were at the end of your pan. That's a tough shot.. As I'm sure you know, you'll get a higher percentage of hits if you can trip the shutter in the midpoint of your swing. But no one hits 100% on pans. At least no one I know. Paul On Oct 17,
