Zoom blur.

Photo of an apartment complex. Zoom blur effect.
Zoom blur.

It has been a few weeks since I took photos of the apartment complex I chose for a photo project. I’ve been eager to get back into the swing of things and a public holiday gave me the perfect opportunity.

While taking photos I thought about the zoom blur technique. At this point I’m already busy with long exposure photography so why not try this. What could I lose?

I’m using an 18-55mm kit lens on my Canon. As you’ll see in the image above the light to the left shows some shakiness as the rotation of the zoom isn’t as smooth as I hoped it would be. The result however is still really good looking.

While I was busy with the a car drove past and you can see it’s light trails going past.

I leave you with another two images from the night, both long exposure but without the zoom blur effect.
