Guardian Camera Club: Rob Painter on capturing movement

Mall cyclist: What did I learn about panning? Find a clean backdrop that will create a good blur. Switch to continuous shoot. Keep trying until you get a sharp enough shot. Luckily this guy went round the block a few times

Bored in the back: Panning with the bus. The vivid blue is due to early morning light. I cropped both ends of the bus off to make it look less like a photo of a bus. The movement at the front of the bus is so erratic it seems to suggest a looming crash. The back, by contrast, is relatively static and you can just make out a statuesque passenger with his head in his hand

St Pancras: Double exposure with a slight zoom in between. I like the sense of quantum movement this generates in contrast to the blur of a long exposure. Zooming in between frames imparts a movement to the static elements, notably the ceiling lights and signs, which helps draw the eye toward the light at the back which is where the principle subject (with rolling suitcase) is also heading (that's my view anyhow)

Oxford Street: Double exposure with a fractional delay between frames. A tripod would have been useful to keep the static elements pin sharp. Made do with a bus shelter. Next time I'll look for a more arresting centre point too

Stop taxi: Static camera with long exposure to create the blur. Contrasting with the static STOP sign
