Though these assignments are based on a technical/creative technique, I still want them to be great images. Please take some time and make some good images. Trick or Treating, other Halloween stuff would be great for this!
1. Panned image. I suggest that you start with a shutter speed of 1/30 or 1/15. Go as slow as you need to get the desired effect. You have to track the motion with the camera (hand held). The trick to panning is the follow through. People tend to stop tracking the subject once they release the shutter. You have to keep tracking it while it is actually exposing the image. Try to avoid having the subject smack in the middle of the frame. Try to leave room for the subject to move into.
2. Zoomed blur. I suggest you start with 1/15 of a second and experiment from that point. If you want the zoom lines to be very clear, then use a tripod. Otherwise, you may have a real mess of an image. Just play around with it. Try to get though the entire zoom range. Start by reading this article on bird photography which has a section on shooting zoom blurred images.
