Support - Very good focus. - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{__Ξ_} . -- 18:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. Perfect panning technique, but I'm not sure if it's the best image to actually illustrate panning (but I've noticed that most of the better images I could think of have since been removed from the article!), and it doesn't do a great job of illustrating the driver either obviously, only his car. In fact it looks like he's got the seat right back and having a rest! Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 18:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak oppose~~ per above. Technically ok I guess but IMO this FP illustrates the technique better. --Muhammad(talk) 20:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Support for the other article. I suggest replacing it with the motorcycle in panning though. --Muhammad(talk) 06:56, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure if a panning shot with an exposure time of 1/250s is a good example. This Motorcyle (at 85mm) is an easy panning target. A good panning shot starts with an exposure time of maybe 1/125s and can go down to 1/30s. The chicken is actually a great example :-) --AngMoKio (talk) 07:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the chicken was great too, but it didn't pass FPC recently. I do think the motorcycle illustrates the panning effect better than this one though because it's a bit more obvious that the background is blurred than with this photo. Clearly they're all very good photos. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 09:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Diliff, the background blur is not as evident in thumbnail. Not related to this nomination, but is this a good panned shot? --Muhammad(talk) 09:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support But add it to something relating to the event or car class. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  - You removed an existing FP to place your picture in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters article. Please revert this. I could do it by myself, to let you figure out how to use both pictures (one easy way would be to put your picture in the 2009 season article, since the previous FP is from the 2008 season). However, the picture swap on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class article is definitly a good one. Ksempac (talk) 14:27, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    - Unless I missed something, the image that he removed was not an en:FP, it was only FP on Commons. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      - OOPS ! Apologies. Striking out my comment. Ksempac (talk) 16:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi Ksempac, i am open to any suggestion. I thought replacing one of my older pictures with a better one of my pictures doesn't look that much as I would like to push my pics into articles. :) --AngMoKio (talk) 07:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        Don't worry about it, i was a bit tired. I didn't even notice the 2008 shot was yours (but I do like it and I'm a bit sad it doesn't appear anymore). Ksempac (talk) 11:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        I moved the older pic to the article 2008 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season along with a pic of an Audi. --AngMoKio (talk) 12:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to Support this great image. I get the sensation of a powerful thing on motion. I actually think it illustrates panning better than the motorcycle shot which gives me the impression of a static bike with a blurred background.Ksempac (talk) 11:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
