Check your exposure since you’re
trying for a slow photo, you may find
that the camera can’t help but over-expose,
especially in bright light, when attempting
a slow pan (e.g. 1/10 second). Watch your
f-number, which will flash as a warning if your
camera can’t achieve correct exposure.5
Embrace the failing light Achieving
fast, sharp wildlife photos in fading light
is challenging, especially without cranking
up your isO. so failing light is a great time to
embrace panning shots. Lower light enables
slow shutter speeds for creative movement,
without exposure issues or a high isO.6
Set up custom modes Panning
settings are quite the opposite of those
you’d usually be shooting with, and by the
time you’ve set up your camera, the subject
has likely gone. i therefore like to save these
panning settings into a custom mode, which
lets me snap to them instantly.With some genres of
photography, such as macro,
sharpness is everything. The
goal with macro is often to
capture as much detail as
possible, so where this is
unachievable many images
will fail. Wind is a constant
issue with outdoor macro
photography. With slow shutter
speeds the subject movement
can be used for creative
effect – increase the shutter
speed to reduce the subject to
an abstract blur of colour, for
artistic images in any conditions.Use abstract colour
Make the most of colourful subjects for images with abstract beautyimages that effectively convey motion
