Capturing Motion...

it's easier said then done sometimes. Panning is something I had a hard time with in the Understanding Exposure study. It takes a lot of practice or just really good timing! The idea is to have the subject, in this case-Michael in focus while the back ground is blurred out.

Next I tried to have the machine in focus and show motion by blurring the grass coming out of the shoot.

For the last one I zoomed in really tight (while hiding behind a tree so I didn't get hit with rock or some other item flying out of the mower-been there-done that-not fun!) and tried to get a close-up of the grass coming out. I think it looks kinda cool. But, that's just my opinion!
