With the #panning - following the moving object while taking a picture - it is more difficul than I would have thought getting the object sharp while bluring the background in motion blur. First one has to be constantly following the object and keep it in the centre of focus. Autofocus comes in very handy here because following the cyclists is using all my cognitive abilities. Especially because you would not follow the object with a constant speed. Even if the cyclist would move with constant velocity the camera will have to move faste the closer a by pathing cyclist is.
But even when I manage to follow the moving object an find it to be sharp on the picture I find that even with one single object I see variatons of sharp areas and others in motion blur. I am not only talking about the legs pushing the pedals and therfore moving in different velocities than cyclist and bicylce. On this picture you may find her jeans and jacket to be sharp but but, face and the front of the bike are not.
With this picture I tried a shutter speed of 1/15 of a second. So far I have found 1/30 to 1/60 to be enough for some good motion blur in the background but I wonder if I could improve the panning to achieve even that rather long exposure, because the background at 1/15 is not just blury it shows long horizontal lines that could look even better if I have some lights or single spots in the background.
