Photography Panning Technique For Beginner

 

​What is Panning?

Panning is one of the most fun cinematography and photography techniques.

Panning uses slower shutter speeds combined with a sweeping motion of the camera that follows at the same speed as a subject from a fixed position. This motion is similar to the motion of a person when they turn their head on their neck from right to left.

A successfully panned shot will show a subject off sharply while its background is blurred. This Panning technique is done on a subject moving horizontally such as a moving vehicle, or a running animal. It can also be done vertically while tracking a person diving into a pool off a high board.
