What a great action shot, I love all the sense of motion it has.

Thanks, I had a great time myself taking this picture.

''Maybe the world would be a better place if more people would be interessed in art and try their hands at it!''
-Brandon Boyd

Even though it is sometimes hard (for me anyway!) to make the object stay in focus while maintaining a dynamic feel through the motion blur in the background in panning shots like this, I think the hardest part of making a decent panning photo is actually whether the photo has succeeded in capturing a unique moment or not. I mean, when you have enough practice, you can just pan almost everything in motion, be it running person or speeding cars. But without something unique, it's just a plain dynamic shot, that's all. But when you're able to capture something like a basket player trying to get the ball from his opponent while running like this... it adds a nice feel of intensity to the overall image. I'm rather grateful we have digital photography these days, if I were to practice panning shots with film camera, I think it would take me lots of rolls before I get something like this.

All the above ramblings aside... thanks for the compliment!

fantastic job... and i agree with your comment... it is nice to see the technique used in a way that makes a photo much better... not just another example of panning...

brilliant work, congratulations on your DD!

Huh, only 7 comments?

This photo is simply genius... especially since it shows exactly the feeling of the moment; the ball in the one hand ... another player who wants to catch it... you describe it pretty good yourself (see above)
I'm just glad that DD exists, otherwise I would've missed this great shot.
