i'd like to know about panning, i've tried panning but it wasn't perfect
Well panning needs a good deal of practise, or... a bit of luck ;-)
OK, in order to have the background blurry, the background has to move in your frame a meter or two during your exposure. It will move more when
- you are further away from the background
- your focal lenght is longer
- the subject moves faster
- the shutter is slower
The first point (further away) is a good one. The other 3 methods introduce new issues, mostly that your subject will be more blurry.
So start with this:
Choose slower subject (pedestriants, bicicles or similar, at a place, where the background got clear contours but is 3 meters or more away from them. Then photograph with
50mm, 1/15s, f11 or similar, ISO800 (or whatever is required for your light)
Like always breath out and hold your breath during your exposure. And press the shutter button super-super-gently. This adds a lot to the sharpness and clarity of your subject.
There is an awesome film where the great Yuri Acours explains all of this breathing and holding techniques:

just if you are interested. You need to be registered with FotoTV to watch the complete video, but FotoTV is anyway really worth a registration. And probably they have a trial or something.
Hope this helps.
Thanks to @astridMarpaung for the question.
