Congrats on being featured in the lines group,I didn’t know it was from you,it’s superb,love the colors,may I ask what is the panning technique.
Dorit replied
Hi Gigi.
Thank you so much. Such a surprised to be featured again.
You normally use panning to freeze a moving object. Means you move the camera while taking the picture, selecting a slow shutter speed to keep the moving object in focus and blur the background. However I like to use this technique on all sorts of objects to create an abstract effect. Just find an interesting object and start experimenting with different shutter speeds. It might take a while until you get the result you are after. I normally shoot with 1/40s and move the camera upward very fast. Be careful, you can get hooked to it. :-)
