Oops I forgot to upload this. What we did during the first tutorial was to take panning shots. This was an interesting experience for me as I never took them before, and I guess I was sort of confused about the difference between panning shots and motion blur. I got a much better understanding after the tutorial. Panning shots track a (fast) moving object, hence the object is clear while the background is not. On the other hand, motion blur photos are those that are shot when the camera does not track the object, hence the object is blur while the background is clear.
I decided to take photos of cars since they are probably the fastest moving objects we can find in school. Here are some of the photos. I think the second one with the blue van looks nicer in terms of colour contrast and composition.
I also realized the difficulty of taking panning shots as it is difficult to control the composition with the cars moving at fast speeds. I also had to try different shutter speeds to get better contrast between the blur background and the clearer subject.
