تعريف ومعنى "panning"

What is "panning"?

Panning is a photographic technique used to capture a moving subject while keeping it in sharp focus, while the background appears blurred. This is achieved by following the subject with the camera while taking the picture, using a slow shutter speed. The movement of the camera matches the speed of the subject, resulting in a clear image of the subject against a dynamic, streaked background. Panning is often used in action shots, such as sports or vehicle photography, to emphasize motion and speed.
