Heading for the Blind

Here is another photo I wish I could have given to the boat's owner.  This guy and his wife aren't out pleasure riding on such a cold morning, so I'm guessing that they are going goose hunting.  The only one really enjoying the ride is the laborador retriever.  The camera was panning with the boat, so on closer inspection, you can see the blur in the grass behind the boat.  To pan successfully, keep the focus point on the exact same spot so that the subject itself is sharp while everything else around it is blurred.  Also, continue to pan even after you have finished the shot.  Stopping a split second too soon will cause unwanted results.  If I thought the guy could be identified, I wouldn't have posted the picture.
