Going to the Temple
Burma 2011
Learning to pan is not easy but it’s fun, especially when you are stuck waiting by the side of the road as I was.
Here are some basic instructions: You need to follow the subject with your camera held to your eye. You want the subject to be sharp. Use a slow shutter speed…start at 1/30 sec. so you can get a streaky background blur. Have your shutter release on high continuous and fire away following the subject smoothly. Check your results and slow your shutter speed if necessary to get a good background blur.
Maybe you will get lucky as I did on this day.
Nice job of panning. Half the fun is in achieving the blur/still contrast. Luck or not, you did that!
It was luck. But that is part of the fun!
