Forest at Hyperspeed

I was scouting for some fall pictures when I decided to try something a little different. To get this effect, I used my 17 - 40 zoom lens, mounted the camera on a tripod, choose a long exposure(1.3 sec) and a small f stop (22). I then rotated the zoom when the shutter was open. It was my first try at this technique. I plan to experiment with different exposures but in the meantime, I thought that this one came out OK.

Thanks for looking.

Thats really cool! I've never really seen something like that before!

Nice! I've read about zooming the lens while taking a shot, but haven't tried it yet. You've inspired me TFS!

Wow, looks great!!! I know what I'm doing next time out! I know some train tracks nearby that might look awesome affected so.

Wow this is a nice effect. Did you use photoshop for this effect?

Very cool. Seen these types of shots before but never tried it until I read your post. However I tried my shot indoors-of my cat lol came out similar but not as dynamic as this one. Nice job!
