Today in class Frank taught us about using blurs in our photographs. He began by telling us a bit about what f-stop to us and what shutter speed to set at.
Then he came to the tangent of a bicycle. He explained when exactly to take a photo as something (a bicycle in this case) is passing you by to achieve a successful pan blur. His demonstration included the class going outside to put this new knowledge into practice. The sky was quite ominous, and it started to rain as soon as we stepped outside. Frank used this as a perfect time to teach that sometimes you will be rushing to get the shot in this very slim window of opportunity (we were mostly worried about getting our gear wet for it was raining at a decent rate).
There's my one shot i took in the pouring rain as he rode by. The timing is a little bit early because the two tires aren't perfectly parallel with the bottom of the frame. But i think it's a decent attempt provided the situation the class was in.
