The idea is to stop the action and to blur the background.
2.
Move the camera along with the passing action.
3.
Use slow shutter speeds like (1/30 or 1/15 of a sec).
4.
Focus on a point where the action will pass, then follow the action
in, snap the picture when it reaches the point you focused on, and
then follow the aciton on by that point. (Do not stop your pan when
you snap the picture).
5. Do not have the action too far away from you or the background
will not blur as well.
6.
People running, biking, skating, skate boarding, motorcycling, moving
cars are all good for this.
7.
Panning can impart a sense of speed to a fast moving subject which
would be lost if the subject's motion was totally frozen.
8.
The slower the shutter speed, the more dramatic your final effect
will be and the less distinct the subject details will be.
9.
On a sunny day you might have to shoot with the meter showing over
exposure. You might have to use an aperture of f22.
10.
An overcast day might be better to shoot on so that you don't over
expose.
11.
If you shoot the whole roll on panning and you overexpose the pictures,
you might try under developing the film a little. |
