I have never seen this techniques. I have done light painting and also will play with the zoom and focus and such but this is very controlled. When I do it I am not sure what I will get but you seem to know.Or how I should say it look's as if your only playing with zoom and not messing with focus or turning the camera. In fact I bet your using a tripod so you won't get camera shake or anything. This is a very nice way of doing thing's. You can still see what thing's are but you get that light painting look. It look's as if your going into time and space. I like to think of what a camera is doing is recording light and color for a extended time. This show's that. This show's the recording of light and time in a compressed moment. How long was the exposure. Also if you don't mind sharing your secret's did you slowly zoom in or quickly zoom in. I would assume you would have to go slow with the zoom as to not mess up the shoot but it could be a quick zoom as well.In fact perhaps there was not a huge long exposure. Perhaps it was all done by the zoom being played with quickly. Any how good job,. I will have to try your technique.

Don, thanks for the compliment. This technique is relatively easy, use a tripod. Get a good exposure with a SS of 10 or 15 seconds, and slowly zoom front to back or back to front during the entire time, so you have to time the zoom the entire range. Took me a bunch of tries so be patient and keep a steady hand? I'm happy that you appreciate my work!
