It can be the crowd, it can be the street int he situation of this streetcar, unfortunately no named to desire in New Orleans. I took that photo screaming &#8220;Stella!&#8221; at the top of my voice, just kidding. It&#8217;s one of the easiest things to do in photography, but one of the hardest things to get right and that&#8217;s that sense of panning. <\/p>\n<p> It&#8217;s really important to have a relatively medium shutter speed, 1\/6 of a second, 1\/8 of a second, 1\/10 of a second, or thereabouts, and track your subject perfectly. <\/p>\n<p> As you&#8217;re tracking your subject, and if you&#8217;re steady, and keeping it straight, and working at the same speed, your subject will remain in focus, and the street will disappear. It&#8217;s a lot easier with things like sports, where perhaps your subject is not moving as quick, but when you can get it right with something like a streetcar, or a car, or a plane, even better. So, blurring in sports and action, really easy to do, but it takes a little bit of practice to get there. In sports however, you might want that action frozen, and that&#8217;s really going to come down to a very fast shutter speed. The faster the shutter speed, the faster you can freeze absolutely any moment in time. <\/p>\n<p> You&#8217;ll notice here on this photograph that we&#8217;ve made it so fast, that the ball is just visible, frozen in all it&#8217;s glory, and keep in mind, in those pictures, they throw that ball pretty fast, 90 miles an hour, definitely, you&nbsp;don&#8217;t want to get caught driving that fast. So, it&#8217;s very easy to create life in a photograph, through panning, and freeze motion, and avoid blur, by having that really nice shutter speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript One of the coolest things about sports in action photography is that sense of blur that you can get from anything that isn&#8217;t moving.
