[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was driving from Mulege towards Loreto and had pulled off to photograph a dry river bed in the desert when this vulture came gliding down following the river bed. He is looking for something dead to eat.

I was panning with the camera following this vulture so that it could be in focus. This has thrown the background more out of focus than it would have been with the camera still.

Nice catch David, but to bad you couldn't caught him in the other side of the frame so it would appear he had room to fly. Beautiful bird no mater where he is in the frame. TFS

Hi David,
very nice picture. I like the panning idea. It works great. IMHO I would try to put the bird in the right thrid so as to leave him some room to fly on the picture. Here it's almost flying out of it (or right into the edge...outch...)
Cheers mate!
