Nice try there Dean!

I will "grade" you on this 1st edit! LOL Wink

Picture #2 IS the real looking one. The reason is this....
In picture #1, you should be focused on the aircraft, thus the foreground would appear "blurred" as your camera moved with the aircraft.

In picture#2, you are moving with the aircraft, thus the foreground is "blurred".

Keep it up, oh #1 looks as if you were into the Capt. Morgans! Wink

(Notice how You can't focus on the subject! LOL )

Thanks Dave! Appreciate the pointers!

But what if the camera was not moving and the plane went by? Would not the plane then be blurry and the background clear?

I guess it depends on how you take the picture..

p.s. And no, the captain did not rear his ugly head this time....(repeat...THIS time) Wink

Exactly, It is how you look at it. So, both are correct! You were taking a picture of the beautiful building and all of a sudden, a Baron came zipping by, thus the camera would not have time to "react" to adjusting it's settings giving it the "blurred" effect!

OK..OK... we are looking at this too deep!!
LOL

Great edits! 8)

The first one is what I would call a "tri-pod" shot....as you may be using a small aperture to gain depth of field in an attempt to have maximum sharpness throughout the entire frame (Damn plane zipped by real fast right in the middle of my 1/500 exposure and wrecked my shot !) and the second one is one which I would call a "pan", done to give an illusion of speed with a low-intermediate shutter speed to blurr the background while still giving a reasonable subject definition.......

or,...............

What Dave just said..... Grin

My preferrence of these two styles is #2.....I pan more when depicting motion, than allow motion to show in a scenic shot 8)
