Panning is a cornerstone technique in action and motorsport photography. It involves moving the camera in sync with a moving subject during an exposure, keeping the subject clear while creating motion blur in the background. This method emphasizes the dynamism of the scene and adds a dramatic flair.

To achieve this effect successfully:

Shutter Speed: Use a slower shutter speed than normal—usually between 1/30 to 1/125 seconds—depending on the speed of the subject.

Camera Movement: Match your camera's movement to the pace of the subject, ensuring smooth tracking.

Steadiness: A steady hand or a monopod helps maintain control as you follow the subject.

Practice: Panning is as much an art as a skill. Practicing with subjects moving at different speeds can sharpen your ability to anticipate motion and timing.

Monday - Started the week with a productive trip to Camerastuff, where I enhanced my photography kit with the Godox WEC 2 microphone system and a new Godox 120cm Octobox. These additions promise to elevate my audio and lighting game significantly. Check them out:

Tuesday - Spent the day diving into the world of pixels and frames, meticulously editing a batch of images. It’s always about refining those perfect shots.

Wednesday and Thursday - Had the privilege of attending the AI Expo at the Sandton Convention Center. I captured a series of compelling images and videos for a fantastic UK-based client, Mavin Global. Their innovative containerized data centres are truly cutting-edge. More about their work here.

Thursday Evening - Joined an inspiring networking session with Boss Babes, where I had the chance to capture the radiance and ambition of some truly incredible women through my lens.

Friday and Saturday Afternoon - Ended the week on a high note, guiding two groups on a memorable journey to experience the beauty of South Africa’s wildlife. Spending afternoons with the magnificent rhinos reminded me just how blessed we are to call this country home.

Quite the week, filled with creativity, innovation, and the natural splendor of South Africa!

This week, I’m hosting an off-road Motorsport Photography workshop that promises to be action-packed.

Friday Night: We'll kick off with a theory session via Zoom, delving into the techniques and tips essential for capturing dynamic motorsport shots.

Saturday: We hit the dirt in Bronkhorstspruit for a hands-on session, putting theory into practice by capturing the thrilling action of off-road motorsports.

For R700 per person, participants will receive not just the workshop experience but also a comprehensive workbook and a post-event editing session to refine their shots.

Ready to rev those cameras and capture some high-speed excitement? 🏎️📸✨
