Abstract

Panning in photography is known as the rotation of the camera horizontally. It refers to a technique whereby one follows a moving subject and takes a photo with a slow shutter speed. This creates a blurred background, while retaining sharpness in the subject. Panning shot is widely used in sports activities because it dramatically emphasizes the movement of the subject. However, it is not easy for amateur photographers to take plausible panning shots. This paper represents a digital algorithm to automatically generate panning shots using two photographs taken consecutively in time. The presented algorithm makes even novice photographers take professional panning shots very easily.
