Zooming Past

This is Zoom Burst experiment. It was a cold evening at Ocean Shores, WA. The tide seemed to have receded and the wetness of the beach was reflecting the skies ... however the sun was hidden in the clouds and we missed the sunset and more importantly the beautiful colors which come about after sunset. This abstract makes me feel about the journey we are going through ... life just zooming past ... do you remember the colors ??

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!
