Thanks Jim for revealing settings. These sort of half decent ones were from my trials today at 320 ISO and 1/2500 at F6. Have not yet on that manual setting been able to move it to f8.

I may have to admit that Donald is right. Ducks are evil So I got geese. Each time I was close to the lake they sit there ...maybe laughing at me like "yeah right..you want us to fly... So soon as I walk to my van to pack it in...course there they go. Flyin allover. I get back....hmm in the water as peaceful as ever. That happened three times.

This is not what I see as panning.. panning is following a moving subject so that the background is blurred due to motion (not DOF). Like so: http://picard.sytes.net/cpg/albums/motoren/motor7.jpg What's you've done is freeze everything. Very nice photo's nonetheless :)

Agree with 3DGuy...... fantastic freeze action shots, but these are not panning. First, panning follows a horizontal path, you lock onto your subject and physically move the camera while still locked on the subject the subject remains in focus but the background will blur out due to the *movement*. Typically the camera will be mounted on a tripod, shutter speeds will be longer..... Not as good an example as 3DGuy, but hopefull you get the idea.

I am, therefore I create.......

I didn't want to spoil the party but it is not what I understood 'panning' to be either. Thx: 3D, Michelle .

The real art of panning is in the shutter speed...Using a slow shutter (slower than the action)...this in effect creates the blurred bg...fast shutter freezes it.
