Sight and Sound 1980 Corvette (My husband says this was a bad year for corvettes and is nothing special, but it still looks like a fun car to me, (but what do I know?) How would you like to getaway in this car for awhile? (It's not mine. It belongs to a friend. His little dog likes riding in the fresh air with him which is so cute. :) Pearl Jam (out of my former home city of Seattle) from their "Lightning Bolt" album (2013) Live: Getaway Album: Getaway Getaway

Panning! This was a rather intimidating challenge as I don't do much shooting without my trusty tripod. I almost didn't make it until the last minute when it finally started making sense what I needed to do. I went through several hundred shots and this was the best one of the bunch. It helped when I discovered that "Continuous Auto Focus" was called "Burst Mode" in my camera and once I was able to turn the "Review" feature off I could get the camera to take the continuous shots that were needed for this "panning" (ahem)... technique. All the tips and links from the group were great help with this. One tip was to use the"center auto focus point" setting, but mine is "greyed out" on my camera and I haven't been able to figure out how to change that yet. I think that would help me a lot with the focus part. I am eager to try this technique on something other than a car, but that was all that was available to me this week. It was actually getting fun towards the end (don't hit me!) ;)
