Panning shot

newcomer SG

tot this might be of interest, though not pan shot, but a zoom shot/effect. personally i think this is the kind of shot that requires excellent timing AND a tripod. i seldom get it right tho... lol. Laughing

BUt must use camera with manual zoom lenses ma, right? Laughing

If I use N73 and can do zoom shot, I tok diao..

But can use Fireworks CS3 to edit and make a pic look like zoom shot.. Embarassed

newcomer SG

nv had a n73. u could try on your n73 tho, but i dont think it can work. Laughing

I was quoting the "experts" and I even produce their quotes. I was not making my own conclusions, it is amazing you can't tell the difference.

Panning it seems, (whether mounted or not) has the motion as shown in this image provided by a smart person:

Tracking I suppose, would be to go along with the moving object.

N73 no manual zoom lenses, cannot one la..sad.. Laughing Crying or Very sad

newcomer SG

yea i think even when you press the zoom button while depressing the shutter the zoom will auto stop... guess u really need a slr lens to do that. Very Happy

Ya lor..but dSLRs so expensive, cannot afford leh..if I can afford, sure will buy a dSLR.. Mr. Green

newcomer SG

u won't regret it! it's cheaper in the long run because no u no longer have to develop films! which btw, takes time and money... Crying or Very sad

alleggerita SG

I know it will be a long-term investment and it will turn out to be cheap in the end, but still I don't have the necessary capital to start investing.. Laughing

Wait till I working first.. Sad

newcomer SG

best of lucks then. Wink

alleggerita SG

Thanks man..but I still got a lot to learn when taking pics of cars and sceneries alike..like nice angles, nice timing of the day, the settings like exposure, ISO, sutter speed, saturation..all these I have to learn.. Embarassed Crying or Very sad Mr. Green

newcomer SG

just keep snapping and snapping and soon you'll come to terms. Wink

u aren in photography, and i am in filmaking.

maybe i put my words across wrongly.
Panning is, the camera is stationary but the object is moving. U just move the camera left or right to capture it.

Tracking is, the camera is moving together with the object

alleggerita SG

Said will post a pic of a panning shot done with the Samsung SGH-X820's 2.0MP camera..here it is.. Mr. Green

Jyi SG

From what I know, Variodical's term is correct.

Still photo of panning:

It's when you're capturing a moving object and your camera is stationary. The background is blurred out by the movement.

Tracking:
Lets refer to Hexy's photo of his GT3.

It's when the object and your camera moves at the same speed and you capture it.

My apologies if I'm wrong.

alleggerita SG

For tracking, the background will also be blurred..But you still can tell which is panning, which is tracking..

For tracking, the car is in perfect focus if you do it correctly..

For panning, MOST of the time some parts of the moving object won't be in focus..e.g the front of the car or the rear of the car..correct me if i'm wrong..

The picture of the Merc DTM you got from Wiki I assume..if you see properly, the front of the car is a bit out of focus..
