just keep in mind that blurred backgrounds can be from motion blur from your camera moving or the background moving; or it can be out of focus because of shallow depth of field (a larger aperture or smaller f/stop number such as f2.8)
it took like 100 shots of that tiger to get the right one - the camera has to be moving at the same velocity (speed and direction) as the subject. good thing the tiger was bored and pacing!
I took these with a nikon d200 and 70-200mm f/4.5-5.6 lens

Yeah, I know it is called panning.
Just trying to keep it simple for those who aren't aware of photography lingo.
I say panning around my family and I get that deer in the headlights look. lol
