Conveyed Motion

Photo by Mike Lentz

I had spent so much time with this particular Snowy Owl that I was able to get a little bit creative and start doing/attempting pan blur photography once this Owl decided to take flight.

I set my camera to manual mode at 1/60 second shutter speed and panned along with the bird as it flew by with the hope of getting a sharp eye and blurred wings.

By following this technique, you can create dynamic images that convey a sense of motion and speed.
