Canon 10D, 300mm f/4 L IS, 1/60sec

Ngorongoro Crater, June 2003

Not much to say here, other than I was playing around with different panning techniques last summer. I took along the lighter 300mm f/4 lens to work on my panning techniques, and this was my best example from that short session.

I really like the blurring here, very effective at showing the motion.

Nice blur/pan but to me it might be better if it wasn't quite so tight ? Of course I've no idea if you cropped it or what else in the background might have spoilt the uniformity ....

This is an excellent shot showing very good panning technique Andy. For my tastes (personal opinion only) I wouldnt mind a little room as suggested by Andrew, especially in front, but it is terrific as is... Well done and thanks for sharing..

Very effective use of the panning technique to give just the right amount of blur to imply motion. I would have liked to have seen a bit more space in front of the animal...but it still doesn't keep this from being a really nice shot.
