I have two panning questions:
1) I tried it for the first time last weekend and the number one problem in my photos is that only one part of the car is very clear. As a guideline for myself I tried to keep the middle focus point on the car, usually the numbers on the door and in most pics the numbers are clear, and the rest of the car is not. Technically this souldnt happen, since the front, back, and middle of the car are moving at the same speed (obv). The difference in focus isnt that big but its noticeable. My only guess is if the car isnt going in a perfectly straight line, the ends (front and back) are moving at a different speed from the middle (numbers on the door), if that makes any sense. Any ideas?
2) How do you go about panning a car thats going through a turn?
Edit: just thought of something else - is there a way to make the sky look "dramatic" without HDR?
