Panning is a technique in photography that is used to capture a moving object in action.The subject of the photo is clearly caught on camera; however, the rest remains a blur in the background. Panning suggests speed and velocity to an image. To date, more and more people are into enhancing their panning skills.
Below are 40 Examples of Panning Shots in Photography that was shot by skilled and aspiring photographers as they explore and use the panning technique. These photos were mostly taken with the use of a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera. Feel free to browse through these images and be motivated!

Some technical information about panning. Panning works the best for me with my 10mm when I’m around a shutterspeed of 1/15 (put the camera on shutterspeed mode, so it will determine the diafragma for you). Ofcourse it depends on how fast the object you want to pan moves. The more you do it, the more you’ll get keepers.
Great photographs and another great post from the author : Ronald Bien… a Graphic Designer from Philippines.

Awesome collection, I love action photographs, especially when they can capture some of the kinetic energy that was flowing at the moment the photo was taken. Thanks for putting this together!

Very few of these are legitimate pans. The rest are Photoshop effects, many clumsily applied. The easy tipoff is when the motion blur goes both ways. Or the wrong way.
Awesome pictures, but here’s my question: how do you take a panning shot? Is it wide aperture, fast shutter speed? I’ve never been able to take one.
when will i get my 50D? I want to have an experiment on those kind of shots
Wow, it must take incredible skill to take these shots because whenever I see others taking them they don’t come out anywhere near this in clarity!
wow. you could have broken up the 40 with a bit more variation. quite alot of the same type of shot?
gee, thanks for not telling people how it was done. seems a tripod was in use for many f the expert shots. whats the usual shutter speed and is it just a matter of following the action please xplain how its done and why no night shots?
Excellent photographs. Thanks for sharing
Lots of great shots!
Here’s one of mine:
http://www.joachimbakken.com/paris09/64.jpg
Shot with Canon 30D with a 70-200mm 2.8L IS
I guess I shot it at between 1/40s to 1/60s, with the IS activated, just following the driver and then shooting. No tripod.
Very nice ones…
Awesome collection. I have retweeted the post
The one with the two kids looks fake.
Its very difficult task for beginer photographer, Its require more experience. Really nice photography
Nice set!
Great collection!
May anyone share some tutorials? I don’t know how can I do it!
Okay, I have to admit, those were really cool. I love the birds especially, but seeing the people seemingly standing still while the world moves on,… very neat.
