Rabbit On The Run

I was surprised to find a few different photos of this rabbit on the run. I didn't think I

would have any identifiable ones. I would have liked to have captured a clearer image

of the rabbit while also having the "light speed" effect of the background. Can

somebody tell me what I can try with the shutter speed. I found some tripod tips, but

everything I do is using a beanbag on some part of a vehicle.

Thank you!!!

This is very much a trial and error situation, thank goodness for digital, but generally the faster you pan, the faster the shutter speed. If you're in synched with the rabbit, 30th or 60th of a sec would be good starting points. Just keep upping the speed until you like the amount of leg blur.

For me look better with the rabbit a little faded and not perfectly sharp, because now has a more dynamic look and - maybe - also more "wild".

Kristin.. The sense of speed (motion) is well defined here.  A tad abstract, but the intent is clear... good shot... Mike
