Shutter Zoom

The assignment for this week in the Ricky Tim's Photography course was shutter zoom and I had so much fun with it that I thought I would share some of the other photos with you.  We used Shutter priority on the camera with f8 as a suggested starting point.  Most of these were taken in such bright light that I used f22 on some.  The idea was to focus on a subject then as the picture was being taken, the lens was twisted to make it zoom in or out.  A bit of serendipity in how this works out.
Interestingly there was an ad in the newspaper yesterday which used exactly this technique.
