Re: Panning Practice

Very addictive!.
It really does get you "panning" though as shots taken in anticipation always end up blank!!
I blame my lack of progress on virtual shutter lag!!!

Panning is when you track a moving subject with your camera.

Used in conjuction with fast shutter speeds and AI servo ( in Canon) for Sports images:

eg: How to capture that footballer on the run , sprinting athelete or fast moving swimmer in a competition

.........Or Superman
