My first try at panning, and of course, I HAD to adopt the lazyman way--sitting in a bus and taking a shot with subjects in the bus itself AND subjects outside the window (which would appear in a blur, of course).
Class Exercise 2: Panning.
During the class exercise, Aishah, Adi and I were having fun running around and taking turns to take panning shots of each other.
Reflection.
I found that my panning shots turned out most effective when I chose a shutter speed of 1/30 or 1/40, because that was just the right amount of time for me to capture Adi or Aishah running while following them with my camera.
However, I realised that I need to tweak my shutter speeds according to the speed at which my subjects were moving. A slower moving object would require a slower shutter speed while a faster one would require a faster shutter speed. Even Adi and Aishah had different moving speeds. Hence I realised that I needed to take this into consideration when taking my panning shots.
I have a neat concept for panning, but I haven't been able to pull it off yet because I need a good friend of mine to help me with it! I'll post the picture here when I'm finally done with it. It involves a HUMAN subject as opposed to a car, a bus or a train, as I find those far too normal. :/ And boring, somewhat.
