As always, it was great to catch up with everyone today. Finally got home about 4, sunburnt but happy :-) Found a few good spots to take some bike photos.

Any C & C appreciated, as always.

Chica, looks like you have the panning technique down packed, nice and sharp with some great motion blurr

Cathy,

So, where's the photo of the panda riding the bike?

As mentioned, you have certainly mastered the technique of panning with the bikes.

And this shot of the panda is just delightful.

Cathy - very cool panning of the bikes, and I also like the composition of the Panda - Funi. Well done :)

Yeh, I did notice that!! Maybe it would make a cool poster... like the type of affirmation / positive thought type posters people hang in offices.... guy on his bike, with 'Focus' as the title. Hmmmm :-)
