Honestly with being on a boat panning with tubers behind the boat should be quite easy. You just have to be panning left to right and right to left. Also, the tubers only have a limited distance they can go to either side. That should make where you need to be panning very predictable. The only thing that should give you issues is keeping the camera at the level you want it at, with the boat hitting chops. It will just take you some practice to get used to is all.
Following through is simple. So say your subject is moving to the left. You are obviously panning to the left. When you press down on the shutter, you need to make sure that you are still moving your camera to the left. You are just following through as your are capturing. That will give you the best results. Sometimes if you stop panning as you hit the shutter your subject will have moved where you don't want it in the frame, even partially out of the frame. Just like shooting guns, you have to follow through in order to hit a moving target. Remember to match panning speed with subjects movement speed as well, that should be the most difficult thing to get used to.
Ahh, I get it. I was not sure if it was when you took a picture that you keep panning or what
Thanks again, this helps, and I'm going to try it out next time I go boating, woo!
