Panning is a photography technique that plays on the in-camera motion blur. We all know what happens when you let your shutters drop too low while shooting moving objects. You get a blurry, less-than-sharp image capturing the movement in a still frame.
Now imagine shooting the same moving subject at a low shutter, but instead of holding the camera still in one place, you move the camera along with the subject, following the moving subject so that the subject remains in the exact same part of the frame the entire time that the shutter is open. You get a relatively crisp subject, with a dynamic, moving, blurry background. This is what photographers call panning photography.
This past week, we thought we would create a nice little video tutorial on how to shoot panning photography. Of course, we felt like we needed to do it SLR Lounge style. As always, you will have to watch the video to find out exactly what that means.

why is there a thick 80s version ansel elgort doing bruce lee impressions in the background?
So, does every photographer feel the need to call out "Yeah, Baby" and "Oh Yeah, thats good!" when it shooting? Sounds so porno.
Who is that masked man in the back? Those mad Ninja skills are a total distraction. I had to watch this 3x and still have no idea what you said lol!
You know, for as silly as this video was (and the fact that it was made 7 years ago) this is actually one of the more informative Panning videos I have been able to find on youtube! You covered:
-How different shutter speeds give you different amounts of blurring
-How to properly keep your elbows in tight and to turn at the waist, pretty much becoming a human monopod
-You even covered composition!
Overall, great job on this!
Do you use one shot or AI servo during this or any 'moving subject' images, say dance or sports or whatever?
What should be F- stop
the running guy is he learned from phoebe buffay?
Omg the guy in the background had me dying…thank you for the tips
Would you suggest setting the focus on the camera to AF-C when panning?
I am more interested in the martial arts guy in the background
From experience the best panning shots are when the subject is closest to the camera and motion is perpendicular to the camera lens.
what aperture ? pls
This was so helpful, but the guy in the background was a total dork LOL!
Is anybody else hearing panty shot?
4:33 what u lookin for
Thanks for the tutorial.
Awesome video. Exactly the information I needed about Modes and Shutter Speed
This is helpful as I'm going to a motorcycle race tomorrow! Ahh! <3
so nobody see's the dancing starburst in the background (lemon/strawberry)
you got a Bollywood dance in the background
I set my camera like 1 25 pan keep my camera moving I have vr so I don't shake much that keeps my subject clear
who runs like that lol?
Great!!! Love i. I little bit of humor is good. You'll always remember the rules! Practicing today! Thank you.
thanks for posting
can you show us how to capture a person that is not moving against a moving background? Showing movement in background with person in focus in the foreground during daylight..vs night.
Any advise for when the subject is running/moving at you? Thanks!
hahaha how am I supposed to listen when this guy in the background pretents to be bruce lee haha
I have one small query as i am new to panning, while panning should one continuously click the shutter button until we are done with the desired motion or should we half press the shutter button and click it completely when we are about to end panning. please clarify on this?
The pink yellow guy in he background!!!!! LOL
Wish he had a better subject to photo. The dork in the bright pink and yellow running like a goofball takes away from taking this seriously.
the pink yellow guy is simply a WTF …
that guy in the background is distracive..lol
Very helpful.
you can't move the camera too fast..while the object is speed up..You will end up with background blure
Very helpful demonstration. Thanks.
But why you call him baby? are you a couple? 😉
I have question but I notice you not answering questions
Thank you guys, very helpful! Kudo's for the peach and yellow on-somm!

wide aperture will shallow the depth of field and blur the background. the lower the f stop the wider the aperture. anywhere from like 1.4 – 5.6 should get the effect your looking for depending on how far the background is from the subject.
depth of field man. look it up.
lol could almost be jason miller in the background.
