Oppose Tight crop, background isnt so favourable. --Mile (talk) 08:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)- Support Very good sharpness for a pull along shot at that high resolution. --Granada (talk) 10:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support Stunning sports photo which conveys an excellent impression of the tremendous speed of the ski jump thanks to the successful panning. The background is good, both for the panning (if the photo was taken against snow, the blue sky etc., we would not see the speed) and for the composition: the crossing diagonal lines make the composition interesting. – Aristeas (talk) 10:56, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Support Convincing example of the panning technique. -- Radomianin (talk) 11:21, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Comment Agree the quality is rather good for a panning shot. Not as sharp as this one but still very convincing at lower resolution. Question: What are the red and grey ghosts at the lower left corner? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:37, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- A ski jumper is moving their body, legs and arms for correcting their in flight position at all times until the landing, so it's practically impossible to get a ski jumper completely sharp when panning and using longer shutter times. The plane itself does not move all its parts, it's one block of mostly metal parts slicing throug air and it is most probably photographed from further away and not in 2-3m distance as with ski jumpers. --Granada (talk) 18:53, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Abstain - Sorry, forgot about that question. That's one of the many wind flags: a grey metal post and a red stripe of fabric. Granada (talk) 06:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support Thanks. I wonder if the image wouldn't be more striking vertical. And the position of the skier would be more accurate. However I understand the difficulty here to follow the trajectory and to keep the subject within the frame at the same time. --Basile Morin (talk) 06:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the vote! By vertical do you mean like e.g. this one? To be honest I find these quite boring. They are the easiest to take by just pointing your camera upwards to the ski jumper coming from the take off. This one is not the sharpest as it was also taken at the same event and marks the beginning of a panning shot following the athlete. The moment the athlete comes past me (like in the FPC) she is around 90km/h fast and just 2-3m away. If I only want to asure that the photo is sharp I do it like that example and set the exposure time to 1/1000s or less (depending on weather conditions). Granada (talk) 12:35, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I wrongly assumed the photo was tilted, but realize now that it's probably not. The other shot, even if "easier" is also very good. For the speed, yes, it makes sense. Still the background would appear more static / frozen than here -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, therefore we are discussing here. The FPC-shot was made at the steepest part of the ski jumping hill, a few meters above the so called critical point of the hill. The post of that wind flag is mounted perpendicular to the slope of the hill and the image is completely horizontally. If you want to shoot from there you have to walk the stairs up.
