Zoom experimentsThree 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. Peter

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.
