Panning

 Bicyclist : Ferney-Voltaire, FR

As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Maya and I are taking a photography class one evening a week in Nyon, Switzerland. This week's assignments were: becoming familiar with panning technique and using aperture priority (A) and shutter speed priority (S) settings. Today's photos are from the panning exercise. I'll be working on the aperture and shutter speed exercises later this week. The quality of these photos isn't that exciting, because the weather was crap, but I think I figured out how to pan all right. I just need more practice.

No Subject No. 1 : Ferney-Voltaire, FR

This week, in our photography class, the assignment was to shoot or provide a photo with no subject. This isn't as easy as you'd think, especially if your accustomed to either shooting with a subject in mind or looking at abstract photos, but not really thinking of them as lacking a subject. I used two really crappy photos as examples of no subject, but then realized this evening--thanks to Maya's quick eye--that the above photo would have been great for this assignment.
