Panning is when you capture a moving object  perfectly sharp and in-focus, but the background will be blurry.

Panning tutorial

Settings:

  • Apeture:   F/10
  • Shutter Speed:    1/100 – 1/60

How to Photograph:

  • When panning, pick one part of your subject, and simply follow it with your camera by turning your body.
    • With a car, find the hood or front wheel
      • Get a focus point and just follow it.
        • Take your shot, but keep following the car
  • Be prepared to throw most of your images away
      • On a good day I have had 1 in 10 good images
