There is little for the viewer to infer what happens before or after that moment. However, there are images that need to communicate motion. For example, you may want to capture a dog running, a train barreling down the tracks, or trees that are blowing in the wind. Each of these scenes can come alive within your photographs if you learn how to convey motion properly. Today, I'll describe how you can use different shutter speeds and panning to capture motion in your photography. I'll also explain a potential issue you might experience along with tips to resolve it."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1226944153.usr1.jpg" /></p><p>Motion blur photography is a fun way to experiment, and also a great way to capture beautiful images that impart motion, speed, and time.
