Panning carrots...

Panning carrots...
...like professional! =D

Did you know there is also a concept of "gold panning"? ;-)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_panning

I chose slides of carrot to be "fried" and stirred on the pan because they look nice and bright, almost golden ;-) Besides they were not causing much of the mess if dropping around. I didn't actually fried them. The pan was cold and I sort of faked the way how master cooks flip and stir the contents on a frying pan.

This picture is last out of 22 shots. I relied on automatic setting, and it gave me the following settings:

- Exposure 1/13
- Aperture f/3.3
- ISO 400

The "ambient light" came from two fluorescent and one halogen lamps. I held the camera on my left hand, used full 24mm equivalent wide angle, and tried my best to "pan the moving pan" held on the right hand. The whole session took no more than 10 minutes. The idea for this I got few days before, and I took two practise shots with a mobile phone camera to see how it would work.

Read the caption ;-) I discovered that surprisingly easy to move the subject (pan) and camera at the same trajectory. Although, I claim using wide angle view and lightweight compact camera helped a lot to get enough sharpness on the subject.

Oooh, you gourmet chef, you! Yes, I know about gold panning, but I think carrots taste better, as long as you add butter.

Creative shot, sir.
