Children's carousel (PiP)

The Sunday Challenge (TSC): Panning

At long last I got some half decent shots today. I have been struggling with this challenge, at least 95% of my efforts went straight into the bin, most of the remaining 5% went there after a seond look.
Inset some other photos, the skater is badly blurred but I nevertheless rather like the photo.

The photos were cropped and a light vignette (no blur) added.

Rainer Blankermann, Lian, Diane Putnam, and 29 other people have particularly liked this photo

The Santa picture is absolutely the best!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… ^club

Thanks a lot, Sami! I was thinking about using the Santa girl as the main shot but wasn't sure because the "movement" was only on the one side....

Ein Mitzieher am Kinder-Karussell, hätte ich auch mal versuchen sollen ;-) !
Schönen Adventabend wünsche ich dir Gudrun

Herzlichen Dank, Maik! Ich habe mich bei der Challenge sehr schwergetan, Mitzieher sind nicht gerade meine Spezialität;-)

Wahrscheinlich ging es uns allen ähnlich. Deine Bilder sind aber gut gelungen finde ich. Und schön bunt!

Alle sehr gut...PiP 1 noch besser!!!

Gudrun ^club has replied to LotharW ^club

Danke, Lothar! Ich wusste nicht so recht, welches von den nicht so Verunglückten ich nehmen sollte.) Mitzieher werden wohl nie mein "special" werden;-)

Danke, Leo! Mein Problem war wohl, dass ich oft zu spät reagiert habe,-) Und mit der ruhigen Hand habe ich auch so meine Probleme....

Gudrun ^club has replied to uwschu ^club

Besten Dank, Uwe! Ich habe mir ganz schön einen abgebrochen mit dem Mitziehen;-) Witzig war, wie die Jungs immer die Autos hatten und die Mädchen die Pferde und "niedlichen" Gefährte,-)

PhLB - Luc Boonen ^club

I like your effort very much, and the result is not bad at all.
Did you try 1/8 f16, or even 1/4 f32 with equal exposure values?

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to PhLB - Luc Boonen ^club

Thank you, Luc! I didn't try- 1/15 even with stabilzer is usually the limit of what I can do, I'm a specialist in camera shake;-) Here I had the added complication of people jostling me all the time...

8 years ago.

Leo W ^club

Kein Wunder, du hast dir auch eine besonders sportliche Aufgabe ausgesucht, mit einer Drehung in der auch die Kinder mit einbezogen sind. Das ist noch viel schwieriger als wenn der Zugeffekt sich nur von einem stehenden Hintergrund abgrenzen muss. Die Serie wirkt sehr dynamisch. Das Hauptbild ist sehr schön gestaltet. Sehr gut gefällt mir das zweite BIP, bei dem Fokos auf genau auf dem Gesicht des Kindes liegt.

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Leo W ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Leo! Ich stehe mit Mitziehern grundsätzlich auf Kriegsfuss;-) Vor diesen Fotos habe ich endlos Autos, Fahrräder etc versucht und alle waren nichts....

Sind doch gut geworden - auch die PiPs, ich mag das erste besonders!

Merci vielmals, Dida! Was denkst du, wie ich geflucht habe-lol Und ich habe mich sogar extra ins Getümmel gestürzt- da mache ich sonst einen großen Bogen rum;-)

i have joined this group. I hope next Sunday's challenge is easier. ;-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Many thanks, Amelia! Oh, I'm sure it's easier- impressionistic square sounds good:-) I already managed to find the multiple exposure function in my camera...

Ulrich John ^club

Find es sehr gelungen. Und die Idee auch ! Ein Motiv, das man nicht so häufig sieht. Schon deswegen gefällts mir sehr !

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Ulrich John ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Ulrich! Ich war auf der verzweifelten Suchen nach Motiven für Mitzieher, nachdem ich die Autos alle versemmelt habe;-) Der Kinder-Weihnachtsmarkt war letztendlich auch ein schöneres Motiv.

Graham Chance ^club

Nice work Gudrun. You did well to get this - panning is more difficult when the subject is moving in a tight circle.

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Graham Chance ^club

Thank you, Graham! The funny thing was that I messed up all the seamingly easy ones like cars...No idea why these turned out better but I'm glad they did.

Clickity Click

Congratulations on the well deserved Explore Gudrun ... this is such a happy series with laughing children having a fun time and the colors of the merry-go-round really add a festive feeling to the movement. Made me smile and it's a good thing to smile. :)

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Clickity Click

Thank you so much, Chris! Usually I tend to avoid our crowded Christmas market but I was so desperate for a panning shot that I gave it a try . Children really enjoyed themselves there- so funny to see how the boys all headed for the cars, fire engines, motorcycles and the girls for the cute horses, unicorns or Santa;-)

8 years ago.

autofantasia ^club

Love them all Gudrun and I wouldn't feel too bad about the success rate ... I read that even the professionals will bin the majority of their shots when panning is involved! :)

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to autofantasia ^club

Thanks a lot, Paul! I read about the low success rate but I still found it extremely frustrating;-) Apart from the merry go rounds they also had a toy steam railway and not a single shot of this was usable:-(

nice job Gudrun! you got all your shots bang-on! They are all happy, colourful and fabulous!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Shuttering Yukon

Thanks, Wendi! I found this a very frustrating challenge, I never had to bin so many shots!

Shuttering Yukon has replied to Gudrun ^club

lol, agree! this was my 3rd time for this challenge

Gudrun ^club has replied to Shuttering Yukon

I suspect it doesn't get any less frustrating 3rd time round;-)

Bruce Dean (Puchinpa… ^club

You nailed the near focus. I had more trouble getting a close focus than following the subject.

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Bruce Dean (Puchinpa… ^club

Thanks, pappy! About one in hundred,-) And only at 24mm, any further zoomed in always suffered from camera shake.
