Hey bro don't call me TS leh, I'm your Little India comrade remember?
BTW I started using Photoshop liao, thats why got EXIF details unlike last time when I used Arcsoft.
No tripod or monopod, I use free hands.
The technique is to turn with your hips rather than with your hands upper body. You have to pre-turn yourself first and get your body into tension, and let it unwind while you pan.
In other words, let your legs face the direction where your pan will end, then turn your hips and upper torso till you are at the start of pan position, wait for the subject to run into your scene and start panning by unwinding your hips. Keep hands close to body and press the camera to your face.
