Speed

I love this effect but don't know how it happened. I panned every other sot I took that day but this is the onyl one that came out this way, Any idea how I might have done this?

EXIF:
f5.6
1.60
ISO 400
No Flash
Zoom @ 160mm

I am clueless, but it's pretty cool!

That did turn pretty cool. Talk about showing motion.

Well, you can tell that you were panning, but probably not at the proper timing to freeze the biker. I like it, though!

pretty cool.

You were panting too fast, i mean panning!

Nice, I saw this effect using flash during slow panning hey Cal maybe you've discovered a new technique.

Yeah if only I knew how reproduce it LOL

It looks like slow sync flash, but you were not using flash. Were there others around using flash? You may have had an unusual situation happen, but it does happen, where another photographer's flash, or even a strobe light, inadvertantly synched with your shutter.

Wow Cally. That is a great "motion" effect. Reproduce it so you can give it a new technique name and become rich and famous and publish all of us in your first book. :LOL:. Seriously though, panning is a neat effect to me and I love the effects you got with it in this shot!

I don't think but even if they were do you think @ 160mm focal length would it have mattered in this shot?

was the blur produced in camera or in photoshop?

Yes. That would depend on the power of the flash, although at that distance, it seems unlikely that a handheld unit would be able to accomplish that. A stage strobe could put out enough power, but, considering the natural lighting conditions, it would seem unlikely that they would be using strobe lights.

Whatever the cause, it is both unusual and interesting.
