[edit] Fix-ups

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)

[edit] Claification needed

This article needs to clearly differentiate between panning (a static camera that is being rotated) and tracking (moving the camera, e.g. horziontally on rails) together. They're not the same. EdmundSS 10:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Accessibility issues

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)

[edit] How panning is achieved

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
