Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.
Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!
FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.
FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.
Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.
If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!
Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

Start by turning your back to the car approaching you, and plant your feet. Now, twist your torso back toward the car.
Look at the car through your camera and, as it approaches, press the button and follow the car's movement with your entire body.
The effect is that you'll briefly be moving your camera WITH the car, so the car becomes a still object (relative to the camera) while the background is the thing that is moving. The car will be more in focus, while the background will blue behind it.
In reality, you won't want to have your back to the approaching car; it should be more of an oblique angle. That was just to illustrate the technique.
Panning takes a lot of practice.
