slow shutter speed. However, instead of using a tripod, you\u2019ll be panning your camera along the directional path of your subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Digital Photography School tutorials from last week also cover panning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/a-beginners-to-capturing-motion-in-your-photography\/\">A Beginners Guide to Capturing Motion in Your Photography<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/3-tips-creating-dramatic-images-using-motion\/\">3 Tips for Creating Dramatic Images using Motion<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/using-slow-shutter-speed-to-create-motion-blur\/\">How to Use Slow Shutter Speed to Create Motion Blur<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to upload your image<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have until next Tuesday to upload your image to <a href=\"https:\/\/cluster.co\/\">Cluster<\/a>.
