The snow shower is from the shooter who is not in the picture yet I have a nice 7 frame sequence of this play. The puck drops and the rebound is pushed wide.

Steve, wow, that is an amazing panning shot. I tried all summer in Europe to get a good panning shot of mopeds and none turned out crystal clear. Do you have any advice for a novice?
It's been a few years since I've logged into the forum, thought I'd toss out a pic in this here just to say hey again. Here's a surfing picture I took from our local pier late afternoon this past Summer.

Hi Pink, not Steve, but perhaps I can help. I find the two keys to panning are the obvious one of shutter-speed and the less obvious "follow-through".
Shutter-speed depends on speed of the subject, focal length, and distance to subject. Perhaps a good place to start with mopeds is around 1/60. Start tracking the subject prior to where you plan on snapping the image, keep tracking while you press the shutter release, and keep tracking along with the moped as the shutter releases and after. Many do a great job tracking, but stop the pan when they press the shutter release and that blurs the image. As you're panning, try to keep the little focus reticle on the same small part of the subject, i.e. the rider's face or helmet. This will keep the subject as stable in the frame as possible.
Here's an example (and my second favorite shot of the season):
First is the Winner of the 2008 Army Ten Miler. (Parking lot at the Pentagon)
2nd pic - I didn't realize what I caught here until I got home and was going though pics. Capt. Ivan Castro (2nd from the right) is blind and runs with a guide and they hold a small string between them as they run.
Its my first post too !
I've just completed my first year of DSLR (and photography). I'm hooked but i'm now on expensive the slippery slope of 'gotta have' that lens
