Playing around with panning motion shots. This is my dog Ramona having a wonderful time running around in circles at a dog park near Verona, Wisconsin.

Special thanks to Wam Mosely for his wonderful advice on this technique!

Way to track. AI Servo and multi-shot?

WisDoc says:

Thanks Leviathor - I used multi-shot, but for some reason One Shot focus worked better than AI Servo:)

Wow Michael, now you have to teach me so I can capture speedy Piper too...that can be interesting....lol....This is excellent! Do you ever do anything "normal".....great!

Wam Mosely says:

You started off with the hardest subject!! A living thing!! Great motion on the grass, the motion looks amazing there. I think you got a good result with your dog. Because the movement is not uniform people and animals are tough, the focus on the dog could be better as you know, but I love the motion on that grass.

Compositionally I'd love to see more space to the left rather than the right... (:

I want to see more!! (:

This is good! You've really captured the motion! I've never tried panning animals before, only vehicles! Another thing to add to my to do list! :)

You're on Explore, Doc. (=

Wow Ramona must have been haulin, I've done a few of these and not got the slick washed out bg like you did. So cool! EOSs rock!

A Michael C says:

Your photo inspired me (us) to hit the dog park this afternoon! Very cool motion photo.
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

WisDoc says:

Wow, thank you so much to everyone for the wonderful feedback - you have all made my day:) I was a bit hesitant about posting this since this was the first time I tried a shot like this - I really appreciate everyone's visit!

scotbig: Here are the basics of what I've learned. I set my camera to shutter priority to 1/30 second exposure. As I took the shot, I followed the motion of Ramona so she was near the center of my view and even after I clicked to take the picture, I followed through with the panning motion.

Wam Mosely: I appreciate your constructive input! I agree about a little more space on the left - I thought about cropping a bit on the right to make it a little more balanced. Thanks again for your advice on panning shots!

Leviathor: Thanks for letting me know - I was away from the computer all day today and I might have missed seeing this on the Explore page - what a wonderful surprise!

A wonderful shot! I can almost hear how Ramona plows through the grass. The colors are great, and you did a skillful job capturing the motion so impressively.

Thank you so much to everyone! I truly appreciate all your visits and comments! Ramona loves to get other dogs to chase her - it's so much fun watching her go at full speed:) I will pass your compliments on to her with a nice doggie treat and a good belly rub:)

Did you try different shutter speeds? I think 1/30 was some good advice??! (: Always works well for me... ;)

Twin Shirley says:

I'm not sure I can add anything to the list of praises except, maybe some day, I just might be able to capture some shots that will give pleasure to the observer as you have.

original_ann says:

Phenomenal capture! I wish I had a dog I could use as a model to try this out! ;-P Lovely tones; I just love how the legs are one big blur and the best part: The look of bliss on doggie's face. ;-)
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

WisDoc says:

Thank you again to everyone - I appreciate all of your visits! With the exception of gobbling up doggie treats and enjoying a belly rub, Ramona's favorite thing to do is to get other dogs to chase her and try to outrun them:)

Wam Mosely: I have tried a few different shutter speeds, but 1/30 seconds seemed to work the best for me:)

Dave Eggers has a short story from the point of view of a dog in his book called How we are Hungry. This shot made me think of that short and how obessed that dog charachter was with being a "fast fast fast fast dog"
