Title: Flight

Exercise: Take the camera and follow a moving subject keeping it in the middle of the frame. Compare the results at different shutter speeds.

Approach: This was an exercise I wasn’t sure would work, I think I was slightly put off by the implication that panning comes naturally to most people as it made me suspect I would be one of the few who could not do it. I therefore put it off for some time and it was by chance that I caught a group of Magpies flying about. Although I didn’t have time to experiment with different apertures before they flew off I was relieved to find I could follow them with the camera. Initially, it was difficult using the camera screen to see if I had captured the shot or if I had camera shake.
