One of the key things that was posted here a long time ago and I still take to heart is to make sure that your backgrounds are interesting when composing a panning shot. Its hard to get a feel for it but a nice blurry background will really make a big difference. Another thing to watch out for while trying to pan outside in bright sun is that you'll need to be shooting at ISO 100 or 50, around f/22+ to be able to get anywhere near 1/100th of a second shutter speed. ND filters can help some but I honestly never use them. Panning relies on leaving the shutter open a long rear end time but when it's bright outside this can be really really hard. Watch out for dust spots, it can help to make sure your sensor is clean before you go out. The cool thing is that focus doesn't always matter so much. I mean it can, but generally you don't need to worry about setting autofocus and having your camera track with a car. At f/22 you can set something that is kind of close and not have to worry. What determines if something is in focus or not really depends on how well you pan with the object, and when you release the shutter. Here are some panning examples I am going to shamelessly post:

So how about you explain to me why my advice is bad instead of just bitching at me for the fact that I actually posted some advice. I mean if there is something about the examples I've posted that offends you feel free to tell me why. This forum works a lot better when people come with a constructive mindset. For you to say I'm lazy and that I gave comically bad advice strikes me as unnecessarily abrasive. I like your work, but gently caress off with the negativism.

Great shot with the kneepad here. ----- I shot some cyclocross last weekend:    None of the events I ever go to have a whole lot of mud   I also finished up my calendar for this year, I think its a lot better than the one I put together last year, still debating on if I'll ship these out to the bike shops around town. I'd like to, but I can't really justify the cost.
