We were having dinner in an outdoor café in downtown Chau Doc, a Mekong Delta town not far from the Cambodian border. The sun had set, and darkness was at hand. It was a perfect time to experiment with pan shots. A pan shot is shorthand for panoramic shot. We make a pan shot by choosing a slow shutter speed (in this case, ˝ second), and then gently swinging the camera in the same direction and at the same speed as a passing moving subject. In this case a rickshaw was carrying a local lady home from work. As the rickshaw cycled past, I gently moved the camera parallel to the moving subject. The background becomes a mass of blur, because it was not moving. The moving subject, however, is not only recognizable, but its own blur gives it a sense of fluid movement. I must have made 50 pan shots that evening, without moving from our dinner table. I liked about six of them. And this was my favorite.
