Yeah, I know, it's been done a thousand times, but I was just having fun with the ole zoom.

Thanks for looking!

Bill,

I think there's a rule that if you have a zoom, you have to do this occasionally. And, this is a good one! Nice colors and a good choice for the center of the zoom. Just be careful with this technique, I tried a self-portrait with this method and chipped a tooth... :wink:

A fine bit of fun, Bill, and fun to look at. Years ago I had a film Pentax that had the zoom shot built in.

Fun stuff.

I love the effect of zooming in/out during an exposure. I like the colors here

Bill: I think this classic image is timeless and never gets old. Here you have great colors and what seems to me to be a near perfect zoom. I really like everything about it. :jump:
