PopPhoto.com's Tip of the Week
(An exclusive for our newsletter subscribers)

The technique of panning adds drama to images of moving subjects, such as racehorses and Indy cars. It's easy, but gorgeous results require practice. Set a shutter speed that's not fast enough to stop the motion. Keep the subject in one spot in the viewfinder and follow the subject's movement the same way would if you were using a camcorder. The correct result is a more-or-less motionless subject surrounded by a streaked background.

At the other end of the scale, my heart is torn to see the polycarbonate bodies that first appeared on point-and-shoot cameras de rigour on our entire crop of DSLRs in the marketplace, and to see so much emphasis on automation to the detriment of providing greater controls for creative freedom. Read the complete review here.
