I did a photography workshop at the end of September and learned a new technique called “panning”. I had experimented with panning years ago when taking some photography classes but we had been taking photos of the city lights at night and I had fun doing some timed photos of Calgary’s down town core and cars driving the streets. I have seen many examples of panning used in photographing sporting events, specifically race cars and bikes but have never tried it. In this workshop though, I was shown another way to use panning and was really pleased with the photos that I got. This first one, I may have to get it on canvas as it sort of looks like an oil painting to me. I will definitely be experimenting with this technique for a long time to come.
It is a very cool technique, and does remind me of a painting.
