This image was captured with a push-pull zoom lens effect. What you see was not created in post processing.
This is a single shot, using a long exposure while zooming before the shutter closed. The effect you see is “straight from the camera”, no post processing effects were used to create the effect.
The photo was taken with a Canon EOS 10D, through a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L Zoom Telephoto lens. The shutter speed was 1/2 sec. @ f/27. The zoom was adjusted from 65mm to 350mm while the shutter was open. A remote shutter release and a Manfrotto tripod was used with a Manfrotto “pistol-grip” head.

Hello, My name is Gene. I live in the Susquehanna river valley (West Branch), in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania. I strive to produce photographic images that are simply “true” to the subject, usually with minimal post processing. If something is beautiful or interesting enough to deserve a viewer’s attention, it justifies being captured just as it is …or as close to reality as possible.
