Hi Guys,
I am designing a poster for the college gym and have a fair idea of what i want to do but what i'm wondering is how to shoot images portraying motion whilst keeping the subject in sharp focus.
For example if i have someone on a rowing machine or on a treadmill then would it be a case of trying to keep focus on their face/head but using a slow enough shutter speed that their arms or legs are blurring? If i'm doing this given the slow shutter speed should i use a tripod? If i should will it not make focusing on their heads much more difficult given they are moving?
I keep hearing about panning but don't know if this the correct technique as i always though that was for objects like cars passing by at speed.
Any help appreciated.
