I tried my hand at the art of Panning this weekend. This technique gives the impression of speed to a moving object. The easiest way to take these shots is to locate yourself in such a way that you have time to select and focus on a subject and then follow the object by rotating your upper body to keep the object in frame. When the object is fully in frame release the shutter while maintaining the movement of your camera.
The end result should have the subject in good focus while the background has a blurred effect. This creates the effect of speed.

great panning work.
I did some panning experiments last year at the Go Kart event.
I usually prefer to set the shutter speed somewhere between 1/15th to 1/30th of a second to get a more blurry background effect.
