Panning For Pics.

Today we had some spring weather. Storm clouds, bizarre temp changes from cool to very warm to cool, but we never did get the forecasted storms. It was a great day spent outdoors. We even had some sunshine in there. The kids took full advantage and pulled out shorts.

Wish I had half their energy, their determination, or their thirst for life. They seriously amaze me.

I practiced my panning some. A technique I have yet to master. If you haven't tried it, just select a slower shutter speed than you normally do. It seemed to work best when the sun was out. Perhaps my shutter needs to be even slower. Can't wait to tackle this again with more vibrant colors.

This is part of my 30 Days of Spring Photo Challenge. It runs through May 15th and you can join in at any time.

If you want to play along, you can add your pics to my 30 Days of Spring flickr group, you can tweet it using the #30dos hashtag, or you can do a post and share it here at project alicia. (The linky is over at Day 1.) Do as little or as much as you feel up to. Grab the button and start snappin.

That last photo of your daughter actually made me dizzy for a second!! I'd say your panning is just fine! :)

Dude, they look like really fun kids.

I have been taking more pics of Alex because of you. But I'm cheating and using instagram so I look like I've got a handle on things
