Thanks, my other brother. The first shot I got off was his first appearance out of the trees as he began his bound. It blurred him. By the second shot (this one), I was panning with him. And while they're not at 105, they are quick.

Good snag on the panning Dave . . . it's harder than it seems to do it well . . . I know from my racetrack shots! Of course, the deer wasn't doing 105 mph . . . but, then again, I KNEW where the car was headed! Personally . . . I like the way it blurred here. Congrats!!

PS: I'll have to look into the unsharp numbers . . . I experiment a lot with that one and usually give up if I feel it shows at all.

Thanks, Cathy. I always appreciate your comments. I have gotten fairly good at panning to catch a moving object since I enjoy photographing interesting cars as they drive by. I just get a lot of practice. In fact, I didn't even realize I was panning with him until I saw the photo. I only wish I has had my camera set to continuos shooting.
Hey, I'm not much of a pro on PS, having only used it for the past couple years but if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask. Though there are many others here much more proficient.
Best wishes,
Dave

Wow, it really does look like the deer is a separate element, you must have gauged the speed of the deer perfectly! CC
PS thanks for the tips for Jan, I was eavesdropping, I am also new to PS.

Ahhhhh... estos gamos me fascinan, a éstos no les tendría temor alguno, muy por el contrario.
Lograste una imagen dinámica y tridimensional, Felicitaciones Dave!

Thanks and I will pay. I am an old film-based photog from the 60's and I used a technique back then called unsharp mask back then. The term is a carryover from film only days.
For an explanation of the former technique (I worked on 4x5" film) see http://www.earthboundlight.com/phototips/unsharp-mask.html

Jan, all I can say is experiment, experiment, experiment. The 2 radius/1 threshold was a suggested setting by another UF photographer. He neglected to say what the percentage should typically be. So I normally adjust it until it looks good on my monitor. Of course, I still don't understand why one would use "unsharp mask" to sharpen.
Best wishes,
Dave

Thanks; I just started using PS and tried your combo on a photo and had better results than using the other options. Thanks for your response (and help).

Hi, Jan and thanks for your comment. Yes, I did use the unsharp mask in PS, with a radius of 2 and threshold of 1, at 185%. I slightly adjusted the color as well, using selective color. What I missed was the next leap he took, bounding all the way over the road.
Best wishes,
Dave

Good action shot and the blur really enhances the photo. Main subject fairly sharp anyways. Did you have to sharpen it up much in PS?
