Pictures don't just come out looking right. If you look at some of the pictures you especially like, you will notice that the way the picture was composed probably has a lot to do with it. What we mean by composition is how you place your subject(s) on the blank canvas that's your 4x6 (or 5x7 or 8x10).

Have you ever wished that there was way you could capture the sense of motion in a still picture? Well, today, using just our camera and a special technique we're going to learn just to do just that. Panning is the art of tracking a subject with your camera - blurring the background, while keeping the subject in sharp focus.

We'll be walking you through the equipment required, how to choose a subject & location, ensure the background is appropriate, and pan smoothly!

Backgrounds present both opportunities and challenges to photographers. On the one hand they can put a subjects in context and make it stand out in a way that highlights it wonderfully – but on the other hand backgrounds can overwhelm subjects and distract from them.

Urban landscapes are one of my favourite photographic subjects. We just love the excitement and vibrancy of a busy city, and find that they are absolutely packed full of interesting subjects. The fast pace of change also means that there's always something new to photograph.
