My First Panning
Panning –
In photography, panning refers to the horizontal movement or rotation of a still or video camera, or the scanning of a subject horizontally on video or a display device. Panning a camera results in a motion similar to that of someone shaking their head “no” or of an aircraft performing a yaw rotation.
In other words, the panning was trying to achieve a fast motion effect
In still photography, the panning technique is used to suggest fast motion, and bring out foreground from background. In photographic pictures it is usually noted by a foreground subject in action appearing still (i.e. a runner frozen in mid-stride) while the background is streaked and/or skewed in the apparently opposite direction of the subject’s travel.
So the other day, it was an open practice sessions for the motogp in Sepang F1 Circuit. Wingz, Ho and few of us went there. My objectives was to expose myself to motor sports photography or sort of. One of them was trying to pick up the panning skills. In my last venture to F1 2009, the turnout to be fiasco as the place was crowded and I couldn’t find a nice spot plus it was raining too.
Nonetheless, it was good experience. Out of so many attempts, few turn out to be slightly sharp and in focus. Other than that just went blur.
By the way, the place was a little run down as not properly maintained the facility. It was like being used once a year. Anyway, I heard that the management going to shutdown the place for maintenance. Perhaps to renovate it for the upcoming F1 in April.
