This project was a 12 pictures exercise of panning at different speeds. I shot the frames on a motorway bridge in Pease Potage, Crawley, on shutter priority using a variety of speeds ranging from 1/10sec to 1/1000sec at iso 100. The lens used for this project was the nikkor 18-200mm vr because of the versatility it offers, but at the same time it presents another set of problems namely being slow and the annoying barrel creeping. At shutter speeds of around 1/60sec i found that the subjects were recorded fairly sharp with the background being blurry. At around 1/1000sec the subjects and background were recorded sharply . The frame i prefer of the two projects (4 and 5) is a frame on the project 4 shot at 1/10sec. A friend of mine Oz on a bicycle doing a wheelie. as i said on a previous post i like it for the sense of movement because of the slow shutter speed but its not to slow as it retained a reasonable level of sharpness not much. But enough to allow the viewer to see the playful expression on Oz's face. I also like the fact that there are not many distractions on the background and that the subject is centred without being static.
