SLOW PANNING

This is a photography technique in which you use a slow shutter speed whilst moving the camera in a sweeping action to track your subject. When photographing moving wildlife, the aim is to have the eye or face of the animal be as sharply in focus as possible, but the blur around it helps create that sense of movement. It takes a lot of practice, but is great fun! For every one that's in focus, there's bound to be 20+ rejects.
