Mission:

How good are your panning skills? No, not for gold, rather synchronizing your camera's movement and a moving subject and clicking at the right time so that the subject is nice and sharp and in focus, and the rest is a lovely blur. How was that for a layman's explanation?

 

 

WIT

I went out yesterday with the express intention of shooting for this assignment. I wish that I had remembered to look up the assignment theme before yesterday because I had some opportunities to do panning this week that simply didn't occur to me until afterward!

 

I looked up instructions that suggested shutter speeds of 1/60 or 1/30 but I experimented with several variations.

 

I did have some where the car was sharper but this car begged to be the one I submitted - a Morris with racing stripes - who could resist?
