Panning is another great motion technique photographers can use to imply action or movement, but it may require several attempts to master it.

Motion: Freeze Frame
Winning, originally uploaded by Sheba Wheeler.
A few weeks ago, I posted about how using a slower shutter speed can create wonderful technical effects in your photography. This week, I tried my hand at cranking up the shutter speed to freeze action.

Motion: Slow Down Would Ya?
Clear Creek, originally uploaded by Sheba Wheeler.
One of the coolest camera techniques a photographer can play around with is “freezing” an object in motion to bring about a different perspective. To test out this concept, I took my camera to a still heavy and fast running Clear Creek in early Autumn and used a manually slowed down shutter speed to capture this mystical water transformation.

Understanding Exposure - Book Review
My background in photography is that of a complete layperson. I started out in middle school with the Kodak equivalent of a Polaroid. Eventually I graduated to a 35mm point and shoot. Following that was an Olympus D-490Zoom. All cameras that didn’t allow for a lot of tinkering with settings. Since that was all I knew, I still took pictures that way when I moved on to the more capable Canon Powershot G5. It has full control over aperture, f-stop, etc. But I was very intimidated by trying those kinds of things out. Over the years I had managed to get a few pictures that I was really proud of, and even some that garnered compliments from total strangers.
