Zoom burst

Zoom burst

Zoom burst is a photographic technique, attainable with zoom lenses with a manual zoom ring. The term is sometimes attributed to Peter Bargh in his article [http://www.ephotozine.com/techniques/viewtechnique.cfm?recid=228 Creative zoom bursts technique] . Using the technique involves zooming while the shutter is open with a relatively slow shutter speed, generally below 1/60th of a second. For this reason low light or small apertures are required. It is also possible to achieve a similar effect with either computer software like Adobe Photoshop (after the photo has been shot) or a photographic filter. In these cases the shutter speed can be as fast as necessary.

Photographs taken with this technique are characterized by blurred streaks emenating from the center of the photograph. The effect is nearly identical to a motion blur image in which the camera is traveling towards the subject. For this reason the zoom burst is typically used to create an impression of motion towards the subject.
