Twilight Photowalk Part 3: Panning

This was probably my least favourite part of the course, but it was still an interesting technique, and could probably be used quite easily for daytime photography... with birds?

The object of this was to focus on a moving object, and take a picture so that it looked like the object was still and the background was blurred. To make this happen, you have to focus on the object at about a 45 degree angle, and follow until the object is parallel, take the picture and keep following until after, so that you don't lose the movement.






 I'm not sure that the background was super interesting - more lights could be better? Anyhow. That's it for the photowalk!

    Seriously? I can't master that skill if my life depended on it.
    But it's so versatile! Horses running through a field, birds in flight... whatever you want really! Haha

      Well, maybe when I'm home we'll have to go out! The biggest thing she told us was that the object has to be parallel to the sensor when you take the photo. Don't know if that helps you?
