Motion Motion conveys energy in a photograph. It gives the viewer a different sense of what was really happening at that moment. It expresses a completely different idea than if the photo was perfectly in focus. Panning is a technique that I used in the image above along with a slightly slower shutter speed than what would be needed to get a sharp image of the birds to allow a small amount of blur. To pan you simply move the camera along with the subject rather than staying still and snapping the shutter. |
