Panasonic AJ-HPX3700G Flow Effect Shooting

Flow Effect Shooting

This way of shooting provides a flow effect and may, for instance, be used to shoot a subject on a far side of a road with a stream of fast-moving cars as the flow, in such a way that the stationary subject comes into focus though the cars.
