[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This shot shows a technique I try to learn and I am slowy getting better. I don't know the name of it but I have seen some great shots using this effect. What I like about it that absolutely no post-processing is required since I am not a big fan of it. All you have to do is to set the exposure to a rather slow value (1/8sec. in this case) choose the f/stop so that you do not overexpose the picture (here: f/25). Then, when taking the shot, just zoom in or out with your tele-lens. The effect gives a certain feeling of speed or a tunnel vision. Actually you can see the movement. If anyone know more about it feel free to teach me!

The shot was taken on a hike in Valle Verzasca in Ticino, Switzerland on a rather cloudy day. Still the colors of the forest turned out pretty fine!

Andreas,
You have an "explosion" here which draws us into the photo. You are always experimenting with different techniques- bravo! This was a successful effort.
TFS.

PS. I have never used this technique, but I will try it with my 18-70 and 70-300- I guess the results will be quite different. I assume you zoom very fast. Does "in" or "out" make a difference? Did you use a tripod?
