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.

Well, I think you are mastering panning! :)

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!
