Thanks Philippe.  I don't think I could make a "swishy-pan" work in  
these circumstances.  They were both taken, like most of these boating  
pictures, from the deck of a small sailboat, in rather choppy water,  
and with a long tele lens.  It's sort of like shooting, oh, I don't  
know, a fast-moving gull with that lens from the saddle of a  
mechanical bull.   I'm really happy just to get boat completely in the  
frame.

OTH,  it would be fun to try it shooting from the beach.  Thanks.


Regards,

Dick
