Here is a sample...
=======================
BLURRED MOTION LIVENS UP PHOTOS
One of the problems with taking photos in a roomful of people dancing or in your kid’s martial arts class is that you’ll probably need a flash. This usually freezes the movement, resulting in a still photo of people in awkward positions. Cameras don’t capture movement unless you tell them to. Aren’t you impressed by magazine photos with blurs of movement circling a single clear subject in the center? How often do National Geographic photos show roomful of living mannequins in weird positions? Instead you’ll see a bride and groom dancing with a blur of figures moving around them. Following the motion of one subject (person, bicycle, whatever) is called panning. This effect is hard to achieve on auto but can be easily done without special photo skills. SLOW YOUR SHUTTER SPEED. Then keep your eye and camera on the subject you want and just keep shooting. The subject will be in focus with a lively motion blur around them.
Thank you for reading this far.
