Assignment: Tundra Swan Blur

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Taken a couple of years ago. A pan blur I guess you would call it.
20D
100-400 @400
0 EV, but had to bring some whites back thru the exposure brush should have gone -1/3
1/20 s
HH
100 ISO
Shot later in the evening so the colour temp was very warm so I added a blue photo filter at 15 percent
Cropped to pano

Nicely done Jackie! I like the soft blue sky and the warm color tones mixed. Nice amount of blur on the Swans!!

[Alfred Forns]

Over the top feel Jackie Just great If anything might take a little top and bottom to accentuate the forward motion even more !!! Big Time Congrats on this one !!

[Christopher Miller]

Jackie, this is beautiful! Nice colors and the panning blur is just perfect. Big congrats!

[Cheryl Slechta]

Jackie - I love the sharpness of the birds against the blurred bg and the contrast of the trees and the sky complimenting the soft colors of the swans. Great job!
