Attempted Panning.

[RKRAMOS]

This past weekend I went to a local drift event, This isn't my first attempt at panning, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

All tips and critics are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Rick

I like #2 because you were able to freeze the image of the car but the background is still blurred. The others are okay but my only nits are the car is not frozen and some of the background is distracting. Otherwise, good job.

When panning, be sure to move your hands/arms through the full range of the shot and don't stop moving them when the shutter opens/closes. One long motion side to side. Don't stop early.

The car was sliding the right direction in #1, your shutter was still a wee bit fast for the drag. Plus looking at the image, it could've benefited from a slower shutter speed for more light too

There is no EXIF data that I can get from your image, so I'm not sure what your SS was, but you may want to increase it just a bit with a fast moving car, and try to fill the frame with the moving subject.
