Assignment: Motion blur

[Alfred Forns]

From Bosque a motion blur of a landing goose. Nothing much except holding the focus point steady on the bird and panning smoothly. Varying the shutter speed for different effects since you don't always know how the bird will be landing. When they just hang in the air and hover neat effects can be done at 1/2 second speeds.

btw this technique is not bad at all for doing while the light is harsh since. On this one I wish I had the entire left wing ... it was missed in camera but I still like the image, sometimes is not good being attached to an image since you loose objectivity !!

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Oh how beautiful! The blur makes the image like velvet with the warm rich colors and the sharp head makes
it perfect. What wing???
