Taking a photography class and preparing my “body of work” for review
Feb 11, 2020 08:50:15 #
I am taking a class with several retirees who love photography. Each quarter, we do a small show of works....printed and matted images of our choosing. We have been working with how lighting affects images during this term, but the show of works is designed for each person to share 3-5 images on any theme, technique, or stylistic preference they wish.
I pride myself on pushing my skills for these challenges, so I am looking to shoot images using motion (and panning) for this show. I am trying to do panning and using light and shadow in the image...
Here are few of my first pans... I want to get my subject tack sharp and am working on the technique. Any feedback you might give would be deeply appreciated.

Practice, practice, practice. This way you will learn the shutter speed combination that gives you the result you are looking for. You may want some blur in the subject on some photos and other tack sharp. Depending on your camera the fastest way to do this may be using auto ISO and just adjust the shutter speed and your panning speed.

Cut out the bright backgrounds. They distract from the main subject. In addition, the bright backgrounds throw off the exposure, causing underexposure of the main subject.

An alternative you can try is using a slow shutter with a flash set on rear curtain sync the flash will freeze the action and leave a trail of motion blur behind the moving subject

Try slower shutter speeds...like 1 /15, 1/10th, 1/4.. see what happens
I thk you will get better motion on a longer lens than a 10-20... it will magnify the motion.
practice makes perfect.

Thanks Steve, I realized 2 things...wide angle is not the best way to shoot this and my burst speed setting needs to be higher....will keep at it!
