What is "follow-up"

The characteristic of follow-up photography is that the photographer should rotate the camera with the moving direction of the moving object and press the shutter while moving. The result of shooting is that the moving body is clear and the background is blurred, giving people a feeling of rapid movement.

When using the follow-up method, please note the following points:

1. Rotate the camera and head as a whole, close to the face. You can also use a tripod if you can. When shooting, first look at the position of the subject from the camera screen, then press the direction of the subject, rotate the camera accordingly, and press the shutter in time when the time is right.

2. When pressing the shutter, the camera can't stop, so you must press the shutter while rotating.

3. Don't use too high shutter speed, generally use 1/60s, sometimes use1125s or 1/30s.

4. When shooting with the follow-up method, it is generally better to choose metering or backlight. You should choose a dark background, preferably with trees, mountains, houses or people. In this way, when the camera is rotated, blurred lines will appear in the background.
