Sweet Shot Tuesday-Zoom Exposure

This week I was playing with zoom exposure for a photo challenge. I thought it would be fun to try it out on the skyline of the major city I live near. This isn't the photo I submitted for the challenge, but I really like it.

  5. Thanks everyone!

    To get this kind of effect set your aperture high (mine was f/22) and set your shutter speed low (I believe I used a 5 second exposure here). Start zooming before you release the shutter and then continue to zoom until the shutter closes. In this picture I started out at 200mm and zoomed out during the exposure. It's fun to play around with.
