show {off} your shot

Let's get right to it, shall we?

I LOVE this shot from last week...the colors, the depth of field, the lighting, TOTALLY makes me want to get out and visit some Farmer's Markets around here (with my camera, of course)!  This comes from Diana at Find Your Happiness:

So, Diana, help yourself to my winner button:

Moving right along...my tip this week is about shooting action.
There are a few different ways to shoot action, but one of my favorites is called panning.
(at least I think that's what it's called, although there is a very good chance I just made that up, since I do that sometimes).

Anyways, panning, (if it is indeed a real word) is when you move your camera along with the subject.  So in the photo below, Camden was running, and I followed him with my camera, so that he is (mostly) in focus, yet the background is blurry.  Does that make sense?  If it doesn't I can try and make up some other words for you.  : )

Now it's your turn!  What tip can you share this week?

Rules Guidelines:

~One photo per person, and the photo must be taken by you.

~Blog about your photo and share something about how you took the photo, or how you edited it.  (Please don't skip this part, because it is so fun to be able to learn from one another).

~Add my button (below) to your blog post...(text links are ok too, but please do link back to me or I might cry)

~Link up to your blog or Flickr page, (but please link up to your specific post and not just your blog homepage...if I can't tell what post you are linking up I will have to delete the entry).  

If you have ANY questions, feel free to email me.

I can't wait to see what you come up with this week!
