Rather than keep the camera static, this exercise required the photographer to follow the moving subject. The object was to show how panning can freeze the moving subject whilst achieving a background blur. I chose the same setting as the previous exercise, but this time I tried to capture the moving wheels of a bicycle. I have only got the one zoom lens at the moment, I began with an aperture of f4 (the widest aperture) and the fastest shutter speed of 8000. Throughout the exercise, I adjusted the aperture to compensate for the slower shutter speed, and exposure to more light.
Photographs 1, 2 and 3, show the image as sharply frozen. Arguably, there is the tiniest fraction of blurring or softening of the background in photographs 4 and 5. I think the image takes on more noticeable motion in photographs 6 and 7. My favourite however, is photograph 8, at 20 seconds. This captures the speed at which my son was riding his bike and I think there is harmony in this image - the subject is momentarily frozen, and when I look at this, I can feel the breeze through the wheel spokes of the bike.
Photograph 1 f4 1/8000 ISO 400
Photograph 2 f4 1/3200 ISO 400
Photograph 3 f5 1/1000 ISO 400
Photograph 4 f5 1/640 ISO 400
Photograph 5 f5 1/400 ISO 400
Photograph 6 f13 1/100 ISO 400
Photograph 7 f16 1/60 ISO 400
Photograph 8 f16 1/20 ISO 400
Photograph 9 f16 1/8 ISO 400
Photograph 10 f 22 1/4 ISO 400
Photograph 11 f22 0.4 ISO 400
I like the artistic appearance of photographs 9 and 10, and photograph 11 at shutter speed of 0.4 looses the subject completely
