Here is my shot, hope you like it guys....

* Used K100D Super body with 18-55mm DA II kit lens *

U need a tripod for panning? I tried many times on free hands, extremely hard to get it.

Hi, I've never used a tripod for panning; always done it free-hand. But I think, a pan head tripod may provide better results especially in eliminating vertical shake since the pentax SR does not have selectable X-Y axis stabilization. The key is to maintain a smooth motion and click while tracking (without pausing) when the object is perpendicular to the lens.

I was experimenting with my second flash (triggered by the default flash) to flood the background ... make it mystical

Unless your shutter speed is around 1/1000s, I think it's very hard to pan free-hand.
I have only done that once with a compact PNS when watching F1.
And even then, it took many tries and quite a bit of pre-empt guessing...

Depends on the focal length and distance to subject. I always pan with SR off and distance to subject is roughly about the width of a two-way road. Shutter speeds are between 1/30 sec to 1/60 sec for 50-70 mm and 1/60-1/90 sec for 70-100 mm. Above 100 mm, it becomes difficult for me to stablize the camera and avoid shake.

You need low shutter speeds to blur the background and capture the spinning wheels in motion. 1/1000 sec would be a bit too fast to capture the sense of motion, I think.

EDIT: Also helps to have a fast focusing lens like the DA*50-135.

Wow. Cool. It's really free hand. I only had a single succes at abt 1/30 once. Lucky shot i must say. Then tried the whole afternoon can't get it anymore. Ha.

Thanks bros.
Wasn't an easy shot. :bsmilie:

hjbyeo, that's a good shot with the 10-20mm. Good sense of scale and lead in lines.

skypacker, that shot of the fishing rod would make an excellent product shot.

Good shooting guys. :thumbsup:

Pardon me, but I don't understand ur switch. Ur photos look better when u had the K20D. I'm not a Pentax fanboy, I see it more as a tool to get result I want. How I see it is ur K20D shots are better exposed, better color and more natural. But that's just me, dunno if other bro/sis agree.
