Camera Panning Technique
Are camera operators hired based on how much a HANDLE they have on the PAN & Scan technique?
I think as long as they don’t have the DT”s then they get the gig.
Digital Photography Tricks – Simple Techniques For The Perfect Panning Shot!
Every time you open a motor sports magazine, you will see them – the panning shots. Through his skill and expertise the photographer has frozen a speeding vehicle, whilst successfully blurring the background to capture the sense of motion. This area of photography may well be an exciting genre, but if you thought it required years of training to master, you would be mistaken. With just a few digital photography tricks, you can soon take panning shots that family and friends would be proud of.
So when are panning shots used? Well, sports mainly – such as running and cycling, as well as motor sports. But similar techniques can help make your wildlife and nature shots look out of this world. Birds are excellent subjects. Geese or swans, being somewhat slow and lumbering, make surprisingly easy targets when panning. A panning shot helps the viewer to appreciate the element of motion, and is therefore far more powerful than a static shot taken using a super fast shutter speed.
The subject of the shot needs to be moving left to right, or vice versa. A colourful and blurred background helps to lend to the feeling of motion, but the aim is to make sure that your point of interest appears beautifully in focus. Whilst this is true for most sports pictures, in nature a plain background can be used, for example when photographing a humming bird and trying to capture the movement of the wings. A digital photography trick to remember is to take a decent zoom lens along for your shoot.
Panning is the act of tracking the subject with the camera, whilst taking a single, or multiple shots. Trial and error is the best approach. 15 successful shots from one hundred attempts does not sound like much, but you are doing well if you achieve this. The advantage of this digital age is that you can “bin” anything you don’t need – at the end of the day, if you get one truly memorable image, the viewer won’t know, or even care, how many goes it took you to get it.
There are multiple settings you could select, but a good one to try is Continuous Focus, or Servo. In this setting, the camera constantly focuses on the object as you pan. Combine this with the Continuous Shooting mode and you will be able to capture multiple shots.
Some of the best panning shots I have taken are where I have placed the subject slightly off centre, allowing space for them to drive, or fly, into. Understandably, concerns with composition are not always at the forefront of your mind when attempting to capture a speeding object, but a few digital photography tricks can be applied subsequently in Photoshop, if required, to address this.
