Today's "How do I...?" question :) as usual, I understand in *theory*, but not in practice. Have found a few articles online, but none of them quite answer my Qs....
I've been footling around with my zoom in my living room (talk about "what not to shoot"!!!), but I can't quite seem to figure it out to create the effect I want - it usually just looks like bad lighting or camera shake rather than the time-tunnel effect I associate with this technique. :rofl:dunno
- what's a good rule of thumb for a shutter speed? (I've experimented with 1-3 seconds-ish, but it still doesn't look quite right to me)
- should zooming take the entire shutter time, or just some of it?
- so far it seems like zooming OUT (from longest reach to widest angle) gives a more marked effect... or am I just doing it wrong?
- does zooming faster or slower give you a more marked effect?
As ever, thanks!
