NEW TECHNIQUE CHALLENGE - Zoom Burst

January 21st, 2018
Thanks to @deborah63 for hosting the previous technique challenge - creative bokeh. Thank you all for the votes and nice compliments for my photo! :)

For the next Technique Challenge, I am choosing "Zoom burst". Zoom burst photography is a technique achieved by zooming in (or out) to your subject during an exposure. It is simple, fun, and easy to achieve. It will be great to see what creative photos you can take using this technique.

First attempt. I am going to have to keep trying to loose the camera shake while I am trying to zoom :) Thanks for a fun challenge.

Tested my 3 shortest FL zooms on a tripod. This lens had the smoothest zoom and the the least camera movement.

Fun challenge. So much that I don't mind how many shots it takes to get a keeper. Then how many more to get a better one.
