Post your best Mode Two pans

[Shea Design]

I've only tried a few of these but I thought it would be a good thread for the community, and if you wondering what a mode two pans is... it is basically image stabilization in a single axis with the ideal result of a sharp subject on a nicely blurred background. This requires a bit of shutter time and so I'm guessing that is how I ended up at f/32 1/40th iso 160 for this test shot. Whatcha got? -Shea

Nice! And a pretty fast pan I imagine too. f/8 1/125 iso 100 BTW

Thanks! Sorry I left out the the EXIF data. I posted this from work and did not have it handy :-)


Here's another one:


1/125th, f/11, ISO 100

Another tight shot! I think I would pop the exposure a tad.. Did it take long to develop your technique? 1/125th seems fast, but with distant background objects and a fast car you have great horizontal blur here. Ever whip pan into the guy next to you? I'm kidding but also looking for insights.
