Find a photograph where the photographer has used a slow shutter speed and describe the subject matter including the background. Discuss any technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered and how these mat have been overcome. Discuss what happened to the depth of field and why. Discuss whether the image gives you the feeling of movement, stating the reasons for your conclusions.

This picture is a good example of a slow shutter speed. The photographer used the panning technique in order to make the car clear while the background is blurry. This also makes the picture seem like it has a shallow depth of field, because the camera is moving with the car, so the background becomes blurry and unclear. The photographer may have had difficulties with keeping pace with the car, or even other cars getting in the way. The only way to overcome these difficulties is practice and patience. The image gives you a feeling of movement because everything but the car is blurring, showing that the car is moving.
