Day 17


My daughter has been practicing on her scooter lately, and I wanted to try my hand at an action photography technique called panning. The idea is to follow your subject to keep them sharp while the background blurs, showing motion. It's kind of tricky to do, but it was fun to try, both for me and my daughter.

Thing's I've learned: For me, it seems like 1/60th of a second was the prime shutter speed to set up to. I also found more keepers shooting in jpeg and burst mode.
