1306. What about repositioning or re-aiming the camera during a single exposure?

(#1303 addresses moving the camera between multiple exposures.)

Repositioning or re-aiming the camera during a single exposure does not disqualify a photo from P3.

Of course, the resulting image has to meet P7, including the need to not have everything in the photo be a complete blur.

“Panning” with a moving subject is the most common example of “repositioning the camera during the exposure.”

Panning (including use of a star tracker for astrophotography) is allowed by TTG, as is “camera shake,” a common but less intentional example of “repositioning the camera during the exposure.”

• Note that the allowance for panning applies only to a single exposure. The result of panning a moving subject during a multiple-exposure photo would create effects that would be disqualified by P4.

• Note also that (as it says on the star tracker page) combining an exposure made with a star tracker with any other exposure — for example, a still photo of the earthly landscape — disqualifies the result from TTG.
