For the motion shoot, Mr. Bush rode his bike in front of us, and we had to pan the camera so he was in focus and the background was blurred out. This was very difficult!! We had to focus the camera on the ground first, so that we could pan the camera to get a crystal clear photo with a blurry background.

Hopefully I'll be able to shoot pictures like this with motion blur in the future. I learned in this assignment that it's really important to focus on the area you're going to be shooting the frame in before you actually take the picture.
