Last Tuesday my mom and I went to Bessemer, AL, where she said she had seen a large amount of bats coming in and out of a small tower on the high school football stadium the week before. We eventually did see a few bats, though not very many, which would have made it difficult to photograph successfully in the dark--there was very little contrast between the few small bats and the dusky sky. So, while we waited for the bats I saw an opportunity to practice the panning technique on the cars that went by in front of the stadium. Out of the seventy or so exposures I made, this one I deemed the best, which gives you an idea of how successful (or rather, unsuccessful) I was. It was more difficult than I thought! I was sitting down, taking the pictures from inside the car (you can see the dash in the lower portion of the frame). I'd like to try it standing up to see if that makes a difference.
