This week's WET theme is: Panning.​

Panning is tracking a subject in the same position in the frame for the duration of the exposure, causing the background to blur. So show us your panning shot of moving subjects. They can be anything: cars, jets, trains, buses, but also slower moving subjects like bicycles and even people running.

tacphotog asked me to start the challenge for him. The theme is his choice.

This will be a VOTING week!

This challenge begins when posted and ends at noon GMT on Monday 24 February.

The WET Rules:

The General Image rules:

  1. Camera: Any CAMERA is allowed (images from scanned film are also allowed);
  2. Post only ONE photo;
  3. Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible, although photos that have won other competitions should NOT be entered (meaning won competitions here, so no problem as of yet!);
  4. Size: Maximum image size is 1600px on the long end. Minimum size is 800px;
  5. Post Processing: Do whatever you like, and the host will decide if it works;
  6. Title your image;
  7. Posting: ONE PHOTO per photographer per challenge. List camera model & lens used. Post brief EXIF data: ISO, shutter speed and aperture (when images are attached the EXIF will be added below the images automatically);
  8. Commenting: No commenting and/or Likes during challenge. After the challenge is closed discussion is encouraged;
  9. Keep it clean, and both family and work safe;
  10. Have lots of FUN;
  11. This text is available in a sticky. Copy the text and paste it in the new thread.

The rules for choosing the winner in a voting week:​

  1. Once the challenge is closed on Monday, anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places;
  2. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote;
  3. Contestants cannot vote on their own image;
  4. The votes will be tallied as follows: 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point;
  5. The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so;
  6. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks;
  7. In case of a tie, the host decides who wins;
  8. After the challenge has ended, everyone is invited to comment / provide feedback about your vote choices!

Hosting:

  1. The challenge host is the winner of the last challenge;
  2. Once your win is announced, go to Games, Competitions and Challenges and choose "Post thread";
  3. In the top (title) line, enter Weekend Task #X - Your Topic
  4. Copy / paste the sticky in your new thread, fill in the right data (title, description, data etc.) and click "Post thread", at the bottom of the page. Or simply click the QUOTE button and then in your new thread choose INSERT QUOTE, toggle off the BBcode, remove the QUOTE buttons and toggle on the BBcode button again. Instructions for that are here.
  5. Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please;
  6. If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.
Link to Sticky with template.

I have never ever taken a panning shot. So, after several total failures, here is a bad stick-them-together job. The car is my son-in-law's Porsche

This competition is now closed. Let the voting begin!

Please choose your #1, #2 and #3.

Everybody can vote, whether you participated this week or not.
 
I've got to give Levina #1 for subject sharpness and the background's smoothness.
Thanks very much, Ira, but the idea is to pick a #1, a #2 and a #3:

#1 xxx
#2 yyy
#3 zzz

Then after the voting closes the points are tallied and the winner is announced.
