Panning - With A Difference
Panning can be a challenge at the best of times, but trying to follow a miniature car zipping around a mini racetrack with a camera lens was a new experience for me.
I’d never been to a model car race track until recently and I was amazed at what a big enterprise it is! This is an activity that attracts young and not-so-young, men, women, kids, teenagers, you name it!
Here are my attempts to capture some of the smaller speed demons on the track…
For starters, here is one of the cars. I picked a more colourful one, so it didn’t blend too much into the background. It is amazing how quickly these little ‘vehicles’ move around the track, and the skill involved in getting them to move the way you want!
Here it is on the move. I love photographing movement. I’m still not that good at it, but this was a fun exercise.
I’ll have to upgrade to a ‘real’ race track next!
