Panning photography in a cold Berlin

Hello photo and travel lovers,

I was wondering in the streets of Berlin last winter and on this snowy day I spotted some yellow. This man stood really out in the crowd and I followed him a bit.

And when I saw the yellow bus coming, I thought I need to capture them at the same time. It worked.

That brought me on the idea that I could take some panning shots of those busses. That would be a nice sight in the snow. And this was the only bus I spotted at that point.

Luckily, as you can see in the back ground, there were a bunch of trams driving around there. They are less bothered by the snow I think.

This worked pretty cool as I say so. You can still see the snow falling and they are also standing out nicely against the background.

I also spotted some orange coming towards me. This salt gritters kept the road free of ice.

It was very nice location to try and shoot panning shots. I will keep practicing this further. i want to be very good at it.

Good stuff!

Actually I used to drive trams back in the late nineties, snow is totally the worst, especially at the onset...

If you f@*k up, locking the wheels, you can glide uncontrollably, even right before stopping, at walking speed.

Now, if that happens when people at the tram stop think you're closed to stationery, and you then slide another 10-20 meters... And if someone crossing the street right in front of you thinks the same due to everyone's reactions...

Or you might be going at high speed at at stretch where nothing normally happens, then you need to get the speed down, puts on too much breaking power, leading to going maybe even a hundred meters with no control other than your horn! (Once even that failed for me hahaha)

Heavy rain is actually the best, especially if its been going on for days, then a tram actually has a lot of braking power compared to a bus, which has the opposite problem of course.

Its all got to do with the nature of metal against metal, that is very different from rubber against asphalt :-)

Did you have to focus the shot on the moving bus? Always find it a challenge to take photos of moving objects like vehicles.
