anyone have any?



here is my go at it today hehe



(for those that are not familiar, panning is a motion shot where you set your shuttter speed to freeze the moving subject, and you move your camera with the object to blur the background...

obviously this would look waaay better if it was a ferari modena driving by...

cute.
heres a couple of panning shots over the course of '04

Few panning pictures taken out at Eastern Creek raceway with my Canon A80 can be found...

Here.

EC will be my first stop when I finally get a DSLR.

Yup, InitialD represent!

Here's one of mine from the Gold Coast:

You want a lowish shutter speed, fast enough that you can hand hold it but slow enough that it won't freeze the motion. A small aperture works better I've found, but I generally cheat and stick the camera on 'S' mode (Shutter Priority) and let it work out the Aperture (I adjust Exposure compensation based on the histogram and highlights). Then you need to move the camera with the object, so if it's a runner, keep the camera focused on the runner and move with him / her, same with cars and any moving object.

What this does is (if you are steady enough) keeps the object in sharp focus but will blur the background, and things like wheels etc to give a sense of movement. It is very reqarding when you get it right.

I've managed to get shots from 1/60s all the way through to 1/250s (the later is where I started). As my technique (or should I say control) has improved I've been able to slow the shutter speed further and keep a reasonable amount in focus.

Here are a couple;

generally i think 1/60th to 1/100th is a good SS for panning...
u can try that as a starting point....
