Nirlep - hahaha! this was my first attempt at panning
probably beginner's "luck" - but more realistically, the fact that the birds were almost overhead has probably resulted in this effect? at that moment, i had no choice
I need to play with panning more to see what turns out good, not-so-good and so on.
Vikram, Natarajan, RD ... thanks, i have not printed any of my photos and am only just beginning to think about that aspect and then begin the learning, prepping, etc... It will be an interesting journey, surely - and am looking forward to it. esp since there are so many people to learn from, in this forum.
