Cleaning up background by Panning

Nikon D750, AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, ISO 6400, ƒ/5, 1/5
I was taking some photos of the band Farewell, My Love when I realized the background wasn't really what I wanted.

I thought for a moment and decided that since the shutter speed was already slow just pan the shot to blur the background and use the flash to freeze the band.

In hindsight I would have changed one thing. I would have changed the flash from Slow Sync to Rear Sync. This would have sharpened the band and put the blur behind them.

I will just have to wait and try this again and try the Rear Sync flash.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.

But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:

One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.

Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.

Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.

Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
