The so-called panning (engl. Panning ) is a technique in the photograph , in which the photographer with the camera follows the moving object and photographing it at that. In this way it can be achieved that the moving object appears largely sharp even with a relatively long shutter speed , while the surroundings are displayed blurred due to the motion blur.
In contrast to shaking, dragging is a targeted technique that serves to compensate for technical inadequacies, but was used early on as a conscious design tool to visualize high speeds. The photos taken in this way are also referred to as “Mitzieher” or “Mitwischer”.
With this “natural” design element, the speed of movement of the object can be expressed much more clearly. If very long shutter speeds are preselected, the object will also be partially or completely blurred and the photos often appear futuristic and extremely dynamic.
The drag-in effect can be enhanced or more or less natural-looking using both special effect filters and image processing programs . However, such processing is often rejected as falsifying, while the inexperienced viewer may not even notice that the image in question has been manipulated.
