    How do you take a picture of a fast-moving object without it becoming blurred? Professional photographer Erin Manning knows exactly how and proves that anyone can do it if they just know how to use the functions on their digital camera and some basic photographic techniques. First, she demonstrates how a little practice panning the camera with the action and pre-focusing can yield great results. She then teaches the student about the shutter speed and aperture functions on their digital camera and shows the various effects that can be achieved when you experiment with them. Next, she explains how to intentionally blur the subject, background, or both for a more artistic effect. Finally, she shows the student how to add blur to a digital photograph by using photo editing software.
