Zoom Burst


Zoom burst: I had read about this effect, but never thought of trying it out. This weekend as I was hiking in the Quinault rain forest, I was trying a very close-up of a tree bark - handheld. Due to low light the shutter speed was low and my swaying ofcourse got the image blury - but it appeared to have a zoom burst effect. This prompted me to try out the above on a co-photographer and I liked it. One other thing is I like the game it plays as you scroll up/down the image :-). This is totally unprocessed image, straight out of camera. Maybe I should try this often!
