The contrast of the in-focus subject with the blurred background gives a unique aesthetic that can be hard to master. Panning shots can be horizontal, such as a moving car, or even vertical, like a child jumping up and down. Practice this technique on a slow-moving subject first, before gradually trying it out on faster ones.
