For my final shutter speed photo I decided to try a panning photo, because I wanted to challenge myself. For this photo I went to a park near my house, and got my brother to go on the swing. I used a shutter speed of about 1/40 and in order to get my brother in focus, while the rest of the background blurry, I used a technique called panning. When panning, you are using a slow shutter speed, and tracking the subject while you are taking the photo. It is important that you rotate your whole body from the waist up, not just the camera when you are doing this kind of shot so that the subject you are tracking comes out clear.
When I was working on this final shutter speed photo, I had a hard time choosing which one to use, but I decided to use my panning photo because I thought is was one that was more challenging, and I figured that less people would choose this technique out of the four we studied last week to use for their final photo. Although I chose to use the photo of my brother on the swing for my final shutter speed photo, I thought I would include the other photo I was choosing between as well.
