PANNING
The first picture is pretty straight just
as you would expect it in a sports magazine or so. It shows sharp picture
of a sports car shot at a high shutter speed around 1/500 sec. Nice but
it doesn't show anything arty except the capability of the camera's predictive
AF.
The next picture is somewhat more interesting
- just the main object is sharp but everything else including the same
focus plane is totally blurred. How's that ? It's not all that difficult
but it costs lots of film. Just choose a very slow shutter speed. The picture
below was taken with 1/60 secs at 300mm! Additionally you follow the subject
trying to keep it in the center of the viewfinder. In maybe two out of
10 pictures the main object is indeed quite sharp and the background is fuzzy
due to motion blur. Compared to the first picture the motion itself is
much more obvious.
The following picture is even more extreme
- you can see only a very small & sharp portion (the "8") - the rest
is blurry. This extreme effect was shot with 1/30s at 300mm. The angular
movement was very extensive so every detail around the sharp center is
lost in motion. Such pictures don't reflect reality but show a very dynamic
mood.
