Turns out it's hard to take a picture of a moving object in the dark

If you’re shooting a moving object in low light, you can try to pull off a really cool panning shot. Keep the shutter speed fairly low (1/30-1/60 ish), then follow the moving vehicle while you hit the shutter.

For example, these are some I’ve taken over the last year. Takes a bit of time & effort to lock in the settings, but it’s a really neat effect! https://pixelfed.social/p/nbailey/576775592075641491 https://pixelfed.social/p/nbailey/714577089789421630
