Panning with different shutter speeds


 For this exercise I removed the camera from the tripod.



1. 1/90 sec:  Although the subject has been walking through the frame, by panning it looks as though he has only just started to move.  There is slight blurring of the left leg, otherwise the subject is pretty sharp.
2. 1/60 sec:  This was probably the best shot from the sequence, arms adn legs are blurred indicating movement, but the subjects body and head are relatively sharp.

3. 1/30 sec:  This could also be the shot to use as the subject's head and body are still pretty clear and thee is definite blurring of the arms and legs.  I didn't choose this as my preferred image as his head is not as sharp as the previous image.  This may however be due to my panning technique.
4. 1/15 sec:  Although the movement is more pronounced, I would not use this photograph as the subject is not sharp enough.

5. 1/8 sec:  The shutter speed is no longer fast enough to capture the subject and keep him in focus. 

6. 1/4 sec: Images 6,7 and 8 are the least preferable in this type of image.  I don't feel that by blurring the subject to this extent it adds anything to the photograph.

7. 1/2 sec

8. 1 sec
