NEW BACK-TO-BASICS CHALLENGE #1 - PANNING
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2014 3:44 pmBack to Basics Informal Meet-up
I heard from 4 or 5 former Weekly Challenge participants, all who were interested in exploring another venue to replace W.I.C. Thank you again , to Walter and Scott for all those fun challenges!
This weekly meet-up will be very informal. We’ll have a whole week to do our photo(s).
On Fridays, we present the ‘challenge’, which is not theme or object based. Instead, we’ll practice using a camera setting, or a basic technique. Yes, we will be exploring camera settings. You don’t need a fancy lens. But you do need manual settings for your camera.
The object/lesson will be presented in the Forum on Friday. We will have the whole week PLUS Saturday to post our work. Links to your photos will be posted to this thread like we've done in past challenges.
We can post 1 or 2 pictures where we used the prescribed setting. If you post two, use your 2 best or your best and worst… if you are brave enough.
If you would like to discuss your experience, please do. We can learn from it.
Please don’t use a treatment or process your photos. You may straighten and crop if necessary.
Commenting - lets try to give support to one another and point out what we like about the resulting photo(s).
If you have criticism, keep it constructive and hide the comment.
Voting is optional. Up to you. This isn’t a contest, but I know some of us feel the V validates approval.
Okay, let’s start… I picked the first meet-up assignment. If you have ideas for future assignments, please send them.
Repeat after me: “I will not be a lazy photographer.”

BACK TO BASICS ASSIGNMENT #1
A pan with everything blurry can be annoying; something has to be sharp to hold the eyes to the picture.
This week’s assignment is to practice PANNING using the slowest shutter speed possible (for shooting conditions) and following the subject with your camera.
The object of this assignment is to keep some or all of the subject sharp, and the background very blurry to emphasize the movement.
