jects that are in constant motion, such as waves and
waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked chang-

subject is poorly lit.

For Best Results
For best results, use a lens with a focal length of
35 mm or less (50 mm or less in 35 mm format). Prop
your elbows against your sides and move the cam-
era slowly in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping
the camera parallel or at right angles to the horizon
and being careful only to pan in the direction shown
