Three experimental shots where I zoomed the lens while taking the pic. I'd be interested to know if any of these work for you.

Hi Peter,

out of the three photos I like the first one the most.
May I ask what is it you are trying to accomplish with this method ?
I've applied the same technique on a static object (wine glass with wine)
and it was quite interesting.

Thanks for sharing,
CD

Good question Christian. Basically I was experimenting with creating a different perspective on a subject and using the zoomed lens to draw the viewer to the focal point.

Glen, Blinkblink & Christian. Thanks for your comments. For me #1 was the most successful.

They all work for me, but #1 works the best... Is that someone we all know?? ;-)

Peter,

In order of preference its #1, #2 then #3, number three I think suffers a little due to the light trailes at the bottom. The movement "wiggle" detracts from the "warp speed" type affect.

I must congratulate you as I've tried this technique a few times and my results can't hold a candle to your first two shots.
