Back in Wakefield and on our Camera Club evening outing, to try to make the Christmas lights a bit more interesting, with the camera on my tripod, I zoomed the lens during a 2½ second exposure. V2 was taken from a slightly different position and using two bracketed exposures.

Clever work, Trev, though I have to admit to liking V.2 best. Carol

Great effect in #1 and one can still read the 'Welcome' sign

Have never tried a zoomed shot like V 1, Trev, but makes for a different and very effective image, although I do tend to prefer V 2 myself.

Very nicely done Trev. This really shouts Welcome and sucks you in! Like it.
Good to see V2 to get a reality check. Smile

Have to agree the decorations themselves are not that brilliant but superbly pepped up in v1.

Two splendid shots. I was really interested in the technique you use in v1, One of the great advantages of belonging to EPZ is the tips and advice so freely given.

I like V1 better, Trev; it's like the Tardis appearing (or disappearing, I'm not sure which). The Doctor arrives in Wakefield (or leaves......Wink)
It's very crisp for a zoom blur - like it lots.

Hi Trev, this is how Superman sees life when traveling at the speed of light, love V1 because it is different, more of the same technique mate.

Regards

Trev.

I like V1 Trev - have tried that myself but never had the courage to upload it.

I can remember having one of the best Chinese meals of my life in Wakefield about ten years ago - making me hungry just thinking about it.......

You got a very nice effect from the in-camera zoom here. I did some of these with lights, and oncoming traffic, and found that one take wasn't quite enough!

Wow! That is so clever. I like V2 and really shouldn't like V1 as it's not really my thing, but I just can't help it Smile

Hope you do get snow when you come up here for Christmas - if you want snow that is... Smile
