I am not a wildlife photographer, I panned on this bird for at least one full rotation before it disappeared.

I fail :lmao:

you're supposed to take plenty of pics as you're panning...makes it easier to get a couple good ones lol.
Oh well. Nice try anyways.

That is the point, I was following it and as I hit the shutter release it dissipeared behind the guardrail, if you look you can see a feather or two a couple inches right of center.
