Taylor Sawyer
This technique is called panning, right? Where you focus on the moving image and move with it while snapping with a slow shutter. Can you put that in your description? I think it would be a good learning tool!
Peter Denness replied
I will add this ASAP, thanks Taylor
Steven de Siow
Love the panning effect. Well done.

This is a wonderful image of a magnificent Rhinoceros. It must be amazing to see them in their wild habitat. Congratulations on your feature in Endangered Species!

Wow, great work, certainly gives the image a rushing feel,glad i wasn’t in front of her, those horns look sharp.Congratulations on your features.
Peter Denness replied
Thanks Lyn. I had some hard work processing this image as I originally over exposed it. I still think it could have been better, but am happy to have captured a “different” rhino shot. An amazing animal.
