Monday Snap Shots
I am trying to master Panning - The basic idea behind panning as a technique is that you pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and end up getting a relatively sharp subject but a blurred background.

Is it wrong if I just keep this screen open and stare for a while?

Is it PC to say little boys are beautiful? They are just precious.
Great shots!
Kim, the Peace one came out really cute..he had a really good time today in the pool...the other pics were great too...
Beautiful photos... I love the panning shot. Great idea to capture the kids in next year's after school activities!
I need to take a photography class. You take such fabulous photos, it inspires me.
Holy baby shots, batman!
Well, I think you are mastering panning! :)
Your pictures are great! Do you feel the classes you took have helped? You do take amazing shots. And, you have the cutest of kids!
Happy Monday!
These photos are awesome!! You rock, Kimmy!!
I love the panning picture, I know it's very hard not to blur out everything, lovely!
Sweet pics! I really liked the "Peace Ma!" pic! :D
The panning photo is incredible. I've never tried that, but I'm going to now. Great kid photos. They're very summery.
Very cool effect with the passing car!
Love that peace shot ;)
You know, I always have wondered how pictures like the car one are taken. I thought you could just point and click. You are motivating me. I really want to learn how to take great pictures like yours!

Panning is TOUGH! I have not been successful at it. How many pics did you take to get this one great one?
