Have you ever managed to get a panning shot that was a keeper? What is your rate of success?
Great video again ! Thanks for all the insights ! I have used 1/30 to 1/60 for sport cars and around 1/30 for marathon runners. Never tried with wildlife yet. Hopefully will try soon, or at least when we will visit you at Pangolin - Chobe !
We look forward to seeing you Patrick!
Eternal Peace. Everybody started in exactly the same place! We were all beginners once.
Thankyou for your great information.i prefer 1/20speed 1/25 speed 1/30 speed most of the time for panning shots
Thanks Charl for shareing.You are right by saying hundreds of photo's. I am passed that and still trying .Never give up .
As usual these videos are so practical and informative
Perhaps Pangolin will collate them into one bundle at some stage
Thank you Charl
Thank you. We are working on building a resource on our website that will have all of this advice as well as blog posts and tutorials all in one place for you to browse. Should be ready in a couple of months.
Thank you very much for sharing your go-to- setting for Panning. Yes, lots of practice!!
You are so welcome! Yes lots of practice.
That Explanation magnificence, thanks so much
Great video - great tips !
Many of us sony users are confused which focus area to use. Expand spot ? Zone ? Spot ? Tracking on/off ?
So many different settings for my Sony a7 IV f. ex.....
Enjoyed the video, precise and to point.
Never been a big fan of the look of most wildlife panning shots. Just seems like a novelty shot that doesn't in a lot of cases enhance the beauty of the subject! However, something that Janine said in an interview and some of Charls images have inspired me to revisit this style of photography and that it can turn a nothing shot llike leopard walking past vehicle, into something dynamic! The game changer looking at Charls shots in the video, is having the head in focus. Tricky, but it makes all the difference to the look of this style of image!
Thank you for the presentation!..
Great video! Thanks!
Fantastic panning shots, I really like them. I shall experiment and explore this technique further. Cheers!
Thank you for the explanations, it only remains to try this technique in the field :p
One of my very favorite techniques to use. I've found that with practice, you can get lower and lower shutter speeds with success. Of course, a sharp head depends on the movement characteristics of the animal. For example, lions and cheetah heads are very steady as they hunt, while giraffe heads tend to bob up and down as they move.
Great tip! Very valid point re giraffe there Buddy! Thanks.
Thanks Charl!! Nice to learn from you!!
You are welcome Elzabe !
Thank you so much for the information! Very clear!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for your valiuble lesson about paning photography ( sri Lanka )
Thanks ! Great detail in explaining 👍🏻👌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing! I will be there someway someday!.
Please do!
Great explanation. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video 😃.Thank you
Thank you
Hi This is the first time I have watched a video of great explanation into this subject, I will make some notes for the future, Regards welshman2081
Glad you found us. Enjoy the rest of the films.
Thanks for the tips, will give it a try.... just one question.... how do u select ur F# for paning. Say I have many ducks going to take off n I want to capture many of them in the frame. So what F# will match in this situation , - tks, Dilan 🇱🇰
Great video! Charl you mentioned setting # 2 for panning on your lens. What then is setting #1 and #3?? Love your channel, you make great turorials!!
Thank you Charlotte appreciate your support.
IS mode 1# is to correct vibration in all directions, effective for stationary subjects. IS get active with half pressed shutter.
IS mode 3# takes the benefits of standard IS (effective for both horizontal and vertical camera motion) but, instead of it being active all the time, it only activates when you fully press the shutter button to take an image.
@@charl-pangolinphotohost970 thank you so much!!
Do you hold back button focus down continuously while panning? Great video, thanks.
Yes I do. Thank you for watching.
Hello... hope all of you are safe and sound there,I just wanted to know that,what metering mode and White balance should we take in consideration when do panning photography?
Thank you. I have never done panning. I have been using high speed to freeze the image.
Wonderful!
Hi Charl, it never occurred to me to use a slow shutter speed when panning, only fast. I will try your method to get those results. Thank you.
Glad it help. Thank you for watching.
You could use a neutral density filter when light levels are high to achieve a slow shutter speed.
Good plan!
Thank you, Charl, for the video. My question is: doesn't shutter speed depends on focal length and distance to the subject or the size of the subject in the frame? As I can guess you have 500mm and the settings regard to that lens. But if one has 200mm or 300mm will it be the same? I guess, it depends on the distance to the subject, size in the frame and how fast the subject is moving... I was successful between 1/60 - 1/120 with trying and error. I also use ND or CPL filter to drop the aperture or to drop the light during the day, lets say, to avoid high aperture numbers like f22.
Hi Elana I agree you can get wonderful results with ND's. most often the polariser has not reduced the light sufficiently but it also would depend on how much light there is
Hi Elena thank you for your question. In my experience shutter speed does not depends on focal length when i do panning. I will use those setting even with my 100-400mm. But i found it more difficult to pan a subject if its to close to me, if my subject fill my frame with my 500mm then i would go for my 100-400mm so i can zoom out (definitely easier then). My success rate i found is also much higher when focus in the middle of my frame. So if i had a 300mm fix i would struggle as well if my subject is to close to me. So yes distance will play a big roll in your success rate as well. Nd filters will definitely help especially in harsh light conditions. If you do panning aperture should not play much of a roll in dept. of field even on f22 but what it will show on your images is sensor spots. If you have a dirty sensor it will show badly on all your images with high f stops. Hope this answer your question.
Where do you put the focus point in the camera. Left or right
I was trying the panning. Used 1/80 s; TV Mode; ISO Auto. Stabilisation Mode 2. But i´ve got to bright Pictures. What Exposuer Compansation must i use, to get the right exposuer? Can you help me?
Charl, do you hold the back AF button while you are panning?
Hi Steven. Yes I do otherwise focus will stay at initial acquisition point! - Charl
I use from a 1/125s down to 3s.
By the way, it is on of the reasons that because of these very slow speed panning photos that my girl felt in love with me! Hahaha!
So, be carefull!
J'ai fait des lévriers de course à 1/200 car à 1/100 il étaient flous.
Je suis sûr que ce serait la même chose pour un guépard qui court à toute vitesse. Je vous remercie.
my setting shutters 1/50
For American bald eagles I use 1/80 of a second.
Then you must come to Chobe and see if that works on our Fish Eagles!!!
