Fix-ups
[edit]I did a few fix-ups. Added a minor addendum to the computer section and the movie section, removed some bad wikitext and a nonexistent picture ref from the photography section, as well as literally describing the visual effect panning has on photographs. It's too bad the picture went missing, that section really needs a picture in addition to a description. I have no examples in my files that would be uploadable. 137.246.200.49 18:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Accessibility issues
[edit]This article has a animated gif image, but this kind of animations presents some accessibility issues. The animation should only be activated if the user specifically desires so. —surueña 09:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
How panning is achieved
[edit]The article would be improved by a discussion on how the "panning" look is achieved in still photography. Is it created by actually moving (panning) the camera during the exposure, and if so, how is the moving foreground object kept in focus? (i.e. how is the rate of camera movement synced with the rate of object movement.) -- 17:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- I am working on addressing these issues and will also add a section discussing using panning in astrophotography. I further believe that a link to the shutter speed article would be helpful. Finally, I will attempt to find sources to varify the information as far as it relates to photography. Manamarak 14:25 6 December 2008
Requested move
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was Move Parsecboy (talk) 16:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Panning (photography) → Panning (camera) — It was moved to Panning photography, which was lame, but I didn't realize it was moved before I moved it myself to panning (photography); all the links are to panning (camera), so we ought to just put it back there, but due to my intermediate move, I can't do that so easily now; need to ask an admin, hence this discussion in case anyone objects. — Dicklyon (talk) 06:24, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

- Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with
*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
- Support, as nominator. It was an OK place for the article, better than now. Dicklyon (talk) 06:28, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion
[edit]- Any additional comments:
- I am relatively neutral on the name, although I agree that panning photography is not ideal. However, I think that it's a rather slight topic on the whole for an article, and probably would be better served being merged (along with a handful of other framing articles) to shot. But that's another kettle of fish... Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- You could cover the cinema aspects in shot (filmmaking), but we'd still need to cover the still photo technique. I don't know of a better place for it. Dicklyon (talk) 07:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but that's fine - an encyclopedia is expected to have some redundancy along similar articles. However, panning in a motion picture is much different from panning in a slow-shutter still photo, for instance. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 07:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Original research categories
[edit]User:ESCapade has said on my talk page that "I figure out the four types of panning myself, it is just logical." Therefore, since the whole article structure is now based on unsourced original research, it needs to be reverted or at least fixed up. Dicklyon (talk) 16:06, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
- I concur - if there are reliable sources that can categorize the "types" of pan, then sorting may be in order, but I'm somewhat dubious these will be found. If they are, however, then this definitely needs substantial prose work, because the current section is all but unreadable to me and seems to use non-standard jargon (at least non-standard to this field). Hmm. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Review
[edit]I'm continuing to write panning photography as review upon this article. Please do not use this page to review my idea. ESCapade (talk) 03:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Original .NEF RAW file
[edit]This is one of convergent panning photographs, that's the original raw file for download. Happy review, feel free to comment. Thank you. ESCapade (talk) 09:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
File:DTM Mercedes W204 DiResta09 amk.jpg to appear as POTD soon
[edit]Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:DTM Mercedes W204 DiResta09 amk.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 3, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-08-03. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Etymology of Panning
[edit]The Online Etymological Dictionary clearly supports the suggested etymology of the term panning. Anyone have a paper etymology dictionary to cite?
