42/365: Go By Bicycle

42/365: Go By Bicycle, originally uploaded by riekhavoc.

My challenge for the 5th round of "Get Pushed" was from Fragglerocks, who said: "For your challenge I notice there is only one attempt at panning in your stream, on a chap with a bicycle, so I'd like you to have another go, but this time try and have your subject in sharp focus, with plenty of motion blur behind them. It doesn't have to be a bicycle, you can choose whatever you like to pan. :)"

Well, funny enough, the shot that came out best was a bicycle! I shot this with my iPhone, and I'm actually pretty impressed with how it came out. I've done some panning before, but it's only *really* worked once.

What I like about this photo is the cop car in the right third of the photo going the other way. It really brings the focus to the biker.

I want to keep trying before the deadline, but this is a good one, I think! Thanks Fraggle!
