Photography ~ Motion and Panning

Motion
Instructions: In this assignment the object is to shoot a moving subject with a slow shutter speed causing the subject to be blurred while the background stays sharp. The subject should be something like a car, a person running, a person on a bicycle, something of that nature. The moving object must be moving from side to side in your photo. The end result in the motion picture is the subject will be blurry  and the background still. To achieve the desired effect you should use a shutter speed of 1/15 or 1/30 of a second, hold the camera still and when you see the subject in the viewfinder take the picture. You should take care to either use a tripod or utilize the correct standing and camera control techniques to keep the camera from moving. The ISO and f-stop will be determined by the amount of light in the scene.\

Panning
Instructions: In this assignment the object is to shoot a moving object just like in the motion picture but this time as the subject moves past you get them in the center of your viewfinder and follow them, moving the camera at the same speed as the subject. The moving object must be moving from side to side in your photo. When the subject gets directly in front of you take the picture while continuing to move your camera. The end result in the panning picture is the subject will be sharp and the background will be blurry. To achieve the desired effect you should use a shutter speed of 1/215 or 1/30 of a second. The ISO and f-stop will be determined by the amount of light in the scene.
