Zooming blur effect..."how to" article.

September 2nd, 2012
This week I tried out the zooming blur effect with moderate success ( see below ). It is a technique I would like to try again and improve on.
I came across this "how to" article which gives tips on zooming blur, it might be of interest to other 365er's wanting to try this technique.
If you have any zoom blur successes please add them here and give us all some idea of what can be done.

Have fun zooming.

I have been practicing zoom blur for quite a while. Coincidentally, I posted a zoom blurred photo and happen to see this discussion here. Cheers!

I love the zoom effect I got on this, but was an edit on picmonkey not an in camera effort.

I have no idea how to do zooming blur effects but while inside this tunnel I was actually walking when I clicked the camera and got this result.

I'm going to build up to some of these good ones!

I've been playing with this a lot now that I know how to do it. I'm still not good enough that I don't have to adjust the exposure afterward in PS, but I think I've gotten some good shots. I'm fond of this one:

tried this for the first time after stumbling on your post. shot this in daylight so it was way too bright without processing even with highest F-stop and lowest ISO. i thought the end result pretty interesting.

@mellow A really good attempt, it is a lovely abstract.
