NYIP Unit One Photo One Attempts

Panning shot of my niece on a four wheeler. f/9 ; SS 10 ; ISO 200

My youngest playing with a ball. f/5 ; SS 160 ; ISO 200

Youngest again racing with his brother and his radio flyer rocket! f/20 ; SS 10 ; ISO 200

I love this shot. HATE the tree growing out of his head! Chalk one up to needing to develop my photographers eye! f/5 ; SS 160 ; ISO 200

All of these were taken with my Nikon D80. The first was taken with my 50mm 1.8 and the last three were taken with my 18-200mm.

I personally think the first one is the sharpest while still conveying motion, but I am not thrilled about the background. I like the second one, but feel it's lacking because he's not looking at the camera and his legs are chopped. The third is blurrier than I like and I'm not sure that the background shows enough blur as the grass all blends together anyway. The fourth I have issues with b/c of the tree.

Still trying to get "the" shot. I don't think any of these are it. Panning is SO much harder than I thought it would be! I need to get a tripod. i think that might help with the "follow through".
