Panning Photography Video Tutorial – How to Capture Motion Shooting Moving Subjects




Link Article: http://www.slrlounge.com/panning-tutorial

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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?

  3. 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.
