Motion Blur Photography Tips

MOTION BLURS IF SHOT WELL WILL HAVE A MESMERISING EFFECT ON THE VIEWER. INSTEAD OF SIMPLY STOPPING MOTION, WHY NOT ACCEPT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO BREAK THE RULES? WHY SHOULDN’T A SUBJECT IN MOTION APPEAR TO BE MOVING? ONCE YOU ARE DONE STOPPING ALL MOTION IN IMAGES, YOU WILL OPEN UP A NEW BOOK IN PHOTOGRAPHY THAT YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED. THIS METHOD IS NOT ONLY USED IN SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY, THERE ARE VARIOUS SITUATIONS IN WHICH MOTION BLUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS USED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MOTION BLUR AND A CAMERA SHAKE. MOTION BLUR IS A PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE, WHICH CAPTURES MOVEMENT WITHIN A PHOTOGRAPH. CAMERA SHAKE IS DEFINED AS WHEN A PHOTOGRAPHER MISTAKENLY MOVES THEIR CAMERA WHILE CAPTURING A PICTURE RESULTING IN A BAD PHOTO.

Panning

Panning is very easy and simple, but the method needs practice. you need to be familiar with following your subject that you want to capture and then continue to follow as the shutter button is released. if you are using a tripod with a swivel head, it will help you to pan and capture the subject easily. if you are not using a tripod, it is important to keep the camera as stable as possible while capturing.

Go for a place that does not have many foreground distractions. While the background will get blurred, things in the foreground will distract your viewer from subject. Sometimes the background can be distracting too.
