Thank you to all the photographers that shared their .photos showing the panning effect. As described by wikipedia, panning "refers to the rotation in a horizontal plane of a still camera or video camera. Panning a camera results in a motion similar to that of someone shaking their head from side to side or of an aircraft performing a yaw rotation. Or to that of an opening door if the door stays facing one way." Not an easy task, but the finalists and all the entries in this photo competition shows outstanding examples of how to properly and creatively use the panning effect.
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer David Guy Maynard for his collaboration as a guest judge! "
Congratulations to the Grand Jury Selection "Racing" by sharonmorris
"In a word, Stunning. This image is a wonderful example of the use of shutter speed and movement to create emotion in a still image. An overall burst of motion blur conveys the energy of the image, while the head and mane retain just enough motion to show the subjects determination and beauty without losing form. Powerful, artistic, and gripping." - Mr. Maynards
