Slow Shutter Speed Bear

The rather poor light on the first couple of evenings in Finland forced one to shoot rather more slow shutter speed images than may have been first choice, but sometimes it can provide an interesting result. Although this one was taken out of choice. It was difficult to judge the correct shutter speed to get a worthwhile effect.

I know these are not to everyones taste, but happy to get a clear disctinction of all four limbs and a fairly static head.

Thanks for the comments on the wolf, and I shall try to lurk less and comment more going forward.

1/6th @ f/4

No image Cheryl ?

Really I see one - Link looks same as previous image in style of address, so no idea why it would not be showing.

I'll get someone else to try it and then do some investigation based on what they see, or don't see.

Thanks

Sometimes images won't appear on my work set up, but when that happens I get a sort of torn image icon - which there isn't here ?

Got a friend to check it out and they see the image fine, so will wait and see if anyone else has an issue because that may help to identify a common cause.

I see the image - and very nice it is too
Good panning technique.

Simon

Agree with Simon, excellent panning technique. Might have been nice to see him coming slightly more towards you, but then maybe you wouldn't have been taking the picture!

Scott

Very nice as usual
Lee

Great technique, love his grin!

Thanks all.

Graham had me worried there as I was having some connection issues. Since I was supposed to be getting my company accounts up to date and posting my VAT return I was a little bit occupied on "more important" things than working out why the image would not appear. Phew!

I do have some where the bear is at a slight angle, but not processed any of those yet - in fact have only processed 3 images due to the other calls on my time this week. Means I shall have to book a couple of days off in October for the rut by the looks of things

Very very nice. I love images that say something about what the subject does rather than concentrating too much on what it is. Top marks for getting it all right!

Nice pan technique with the head still sharp, works for me, good image!

Nice Cheryl! - Nice overall feel to the shot.

Jules can I tempt you to post some of yours?

Hi Cheryl

Very skillful to make the most of what was on offer. I'd have tried this whatever the weather and would have been over the moon with a result like this. I might have been tempted to blur a little more!
Great shot.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks all.

I think anything slower than 1/6th might seriously test my panning skills. I do have some more abstract ones but not had time to review the images fully yet, but a couple look promising from the thumbnails. Once I have completed my accounts I'll get on to it.

Somehow John I thought it might be your cup of tea
