Here's another try at using the panning technique on still objects. I went out during the weekend, and took benefit of the overcast morning to experiment a little more with this and I have released a little "how-to" on the panning technique that I used here. You're welcome to have a look at it on my blog here.

Birches are all around the place the here, but still I had to search a while to find this frame nearby the beach. I wanted to render the white trees with a green background which was not so easy to find.

While the effect is achieved completely in-camera, I have done some white-balance adjustments, color (clarity, vibrance) and curves in Lightroom and some final color adjustments in LAB mode using Photoshop.

I hope you like my work and thanks for visiting my site.

The colours, texture and shapes put me in mind of a Degas painting of dancers. The slender trees like legs on point in white tights. This certainly different and gives the imagination space to roam.

Thanks a lot for your comments, I'm glad you like it. This is sure a nice technique to play with, haven't done this since then though.

Sorry for the late reply, but somehow I have overseen these comments.

Beautiful ! What an exciting technique...can't wait to try it. I hope you post more examples. Maybe a flowing river/rapids would produce an interesting effect...hmmm
