Edit: It was the last day of the photography course for beginners today. After a short lesson we took a 2 hour walk in Lappeenranta. One of the participants was a very charming and clever 10 year old girl A. and I walked with her. She was eager to learn and I taught her some tricks. Here I demonstrated how you make a "wave" or panning image. Choose slow shutter speed, about 1/40 or slower, use manual focusing and then just wave or move your camera up and down, down and up, sideways or circle and press the button continuously. You get maybe 50 images, 2-3 might be ok or less or more.

I've used this technique with trees, it was the first time in urban neighbourhood. We tried zooming technique too, it was the first time for me too.
