In our series of re-creating past daily creates, let’s time travel back to this day on 2013 for TDC368, a photography challenge.

Use camera panning to blur the background behind a moving subject

Panning is a technique where you move you camera in the direction of a moving subject- done well, the subject is focused but the background blurred. See this tutorial from Digital Photography School

Heck, even the link to the tutorial still works! See examples tagged in flickr such as this one from @johnjonhston
