You can employ a number of different tech-
niques to further decrease motion blur on
your subject. The most commonly used
technique is panning. Panning is following
the moving subject with your camera lens.
With this method, it is as if the subject is not
moving at all because your camera is mov-
ing with it at the same speed. When done
correctly, the subject should be in sharp
focus while the motion blurs the back-
ground. This effect is great for showing the
illusion of motion in a still photograph.
