INTRO Project: Photographing Movement, Exercise: Panning with different shutter speeds

I again used passing cars for this exercise and panned with varying shutter speeds from 1 sec to 1/20 sec. At 1/20 there was a small mount of movement recordede but at 1/40 the effect was gone:

The image above is my favourite of this batch, for a mundane subject, the effect is quite satisfying - this one was taken at 1/2 second.


This was the first time I had tried panning and I found it a useful technique. Getting the right shutter speed is key and of course this is dependent on the speed of the subject.
