Photography Essentials by Kent Weakley

How To Make This Photo – 009 The term "pan" or "panning shot" comes from the movie world. A shot where the camera rotates from left to right or vice versa is a panning shot. In still images, a panning shot is a single still photograph that is made while rotating the camera is this same panning motion. The resulting image, depending on shutter speed, will show motion in any subject matter that is not moving in the same direction and speed as the camera.

Making a panning shot is fun but can also be a bit frustrating due to the experimentation needed to get the right shutter speed for the moving subject. One important thing to consider is that every subject moves at different speeds which means we need always to be adjusting shutter speed when we make a panning shot, also called a panning photo. Despite the shutter speed adjustments, panning shots can make fascinating final images.

"How To Make This Photo" is a series of episodes that explain the how and why behind the photographic images I create. I have a firm belief that photography and making images with a camera is one of the most enjoyable ways of creating. I also believe it's up to the photographer to stop, look, and see their vision for each image they produce. Many times this includes taking extra steps, making plans, and going out of the way to make a photograph come to life. My goal is to share the thoughts and ideas behind my camera and photographs and inspire fellow photographers to get out there, perhaps try new techniques and create beautiful images.
