I was called out on it. I think my example I wrote about was a guy running down the sidewalk in the dark. Well here's a guy going a million miles an hour by me on speed skates. It all happened in the blink of an eye. And I got the shot. And this was not full frame it was taken with a 1.5 crop D200. With a manual focals 45mm 2.8 P lens from Cosina for Nikon. It says Nikon on it. P stands for Pancake. 1/50 sec at f3.5 and be there at iso 800. And is due to the wonders of panning. Its the background which is blurring not the guy. I'm always amazed that's so easy to do. Even in the dark When I checked the monitor after taking the shot I was not even sure he'd be anywhere in the frame. As I missed a few that way. -- Mark Rabiner http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/springdays/
