Challenge: Free Study 2010-03 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
Location: Ndutu Tanzania
Date: Mar 13, 2010
Aperture: f/36
ISO: 160
Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Mar 17, 2010

 Had the wonderful privilege of visiting the Ndutu plains and experiencing part of the Wildebeest migration. The mass of animals was incredible.

My goal with the picture was to take a panning motion shot of wildebeests running by. I slowed down the shutter speed and took several shots. It is a little out of the box for what I normally do but it turned out quite well for what I normally do. Hopefully you enjoy the picture as much as I did taking it!

I'm normally not moved by wildlife photography. I'm making a huge exception in this case.

Cool shot! I like the focus being off-center; I think it works better with a feeling of motion.

This would be outstanding if the panning caught the animals in focus and blurred the foreground/background only. Ratio is a little wide - maybe add a letterbox border for balance?

blurriness provides nice effect...like the color

Great movement and energy you've captured here, while still managing to maintain enough detail to see what your subject is.
