Concepts

Zone focus- when you pick one area and stay there and focus on there until you get what your looking for.

Shutter speed- how long the picture is exposed to sunlight.

Panning- when you have the shutter speed really low and you follow the subject as it moves to make sure the subject is n focus and nothing else really.
