The NEED for SPeed, a photo from Bedfordshire, England

Photographer's Note

My 3rd Upload of the Beds Regatta Series.

TRINITY college, in dark blue colours, VS JESUS college of the orange & black colours (in background).

They're both colleges from Cambridge University.

Another attempt at panning - this time I tried a 'double-panning' with a more interesting composition.
P.s. I used 1/40 because they're moving too fast for 1/30.

Tech: Photoshop. Sharpened and cropped, adjusted levels.

Hi Cheuk,
Another one with immense sense of speed. The faces of the front boat really show effort.
Framing on the left didn't quite work out.

Panning is very difficult and something I have not mastered yet. Good effort and well composed to capture the other boat in the background.

Hi Cheuk - IMO the result is very good, I like both boats taking the whole width of the frame, and the expressions of the girls in foreground. Well done, Daniel

Hiya,
Really like this composition! It kinda shows the tension of the competition really well! I also like the DOF and the focus on the girl in the centre of the photo.
=D

Hi Cheukhin, Another nicely done panning picture to show the action of the rowboats. You have well followed the action of the lady in the center. It is pity that these two ladies in the same rowboat are not well synchronized. I guess that this is a reason they are behind :D

Excellent use of panning & shutter speed CheukHin. The focus is spot on, on the central rower. The action going on is very evident. I like the shot

Great shot Cheuk;

I think you've got your panning skills down to an art. Interesting effect of the pan on dual subjects such as this, but what really makes this work is the clarity of the girl in the frontboat which becomes your subject.

Nice work!
