My first zoom shots. Doubly inspired by JonMikal and Triggerhappy. I took around 130 zoom shots last night, and I'm officially addicted!

1.) Original

2.) Zoomtastic!

That is zoomtastic. Nice work.

Wow. #2 is fantastic.

 

[Canon Fan]

Nice shots! Hey BTW thank you, you finally made it click in my head too! I now understand it and have tried a couple on my tree as well. I'm going to play with this a bit more for sure

 

[JonMikal]

Hey, it's ok to steal my idea but not the same composition with the same subject! :shock: just kidding! excellent results spiralout!

 

[spiralout]

Hey, you fueled my addiction, buddy! Don't go raggin on me for something I can't control!

Nice work man, the symmetry in #2 is great!! :cheer:

I'm a little disturbed my #3. It looks like you stabbed the teddy!

 

[tekzero]

are u zooming during the exposure? just wondering what methods u guys use for these focus pulls

 

[spiralout]

Yeah, just set it for a long exposure (1-3 seconds or so) and zoom. You have to have a sturdy tripod for the light trails to be perfectly straight. It's fun stuff...just do it in moderation

 

[Jeff Canes]

That is zoomtastic. Nice work.

:lmao: :smileys:

It's fun techniques like this that can be easily recreated by a beginner with the press of a button in a photo program. Which is fine, but not really...
