Group f11

In 2008 three photographers, starting out on their careers, decided to keep in contact through a blog page in which they could share ideas, post images and ask each other advice. This has since mutated into a web space where those photographers still meet, but so too do their students and other like-minded photographers.

Sharp enough or not???

Dear all, panning is not my greatest skill and I haven't shot many panned photos. Now I did one but don't really know what is acceptable or not in assessing sharpness levels in a panned photo. I would like to ask you for your opinion: Is this photo sharp enough or not? Is this photo good, okay or rubbish?


Kind regards,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Lets state upfront that this is a really tough technique to master and you have very nearly nailed it. Lovely saturated colours and a nice clean background, and great movement. Having said that I think it is a little too soft around the head/eye. A tough technique that needs not only skill, but also luck - maybe next time!

Howzit Nick

I take back what i said over the phone...the dog is just right in the frame IMO. I think i agree with Neil about the sharpness around the eye, but would really like to see a bigger image before i put that in stone. Otherwise I really like this shot and feel that it's a helluva lot better than a great many published images of the same.

Cheers
E
