PANNiNG

The whole point of starting a blog was for two reasons; to be able to document my experiences and to share my photography journey. As an amateur, there are some mistakes that I have been making and the more I read and watch YouTube videos about Photography, is the more I learn the do’s and dont’s. ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed, these basics are emphasized in every medium I have come across. I also have a great mentor and the experience so far, has been nothing short of amazing. And as for writing, it’s what I have always been good at, though sometimes I get strangled by the Imposter Syndrome. Combining these two things feels just perfect.

Yesterday I discovered a photography technique called Panning. After work, I rushed home and took out the camera to practice and after a few shots, I managed to capture what I think is good enough for a first timer.

I waited for a vehicle to pass by and before that, I made sure that my composition and exposure were on point. I then adjusted my Shutter speed to 1/30, my Aperture was at f5.6 and because the sun had already gone down, I set the ISO at 400. Trial & error, when done with a bucketful of patience, will reward you.

I can’t wait to more pictures after knocking off and experiment more. Be sure that I will share the fun with you as I delve deeper into this awesome technique.
