This is a Advanced level contest
------------------------------------------------------------

n this contest you are to take a photo where you zoom during the exposure. This creates an swirly effect like egonlindens's very cool photo "neon".

You'll need a camera that lets you zoom during exposure for this. You'll need a fairly long exposure, at least a second, and probably a tripod so the only movement is from the zooming. You might find that a scene at night with lights shining towards the camera works well for this, but any ideas you have can be tried out. You'll probably need to experiment a bit with exposure time and so on.

If you need help with this contest, it can be discussed in the forums, but obviously you can't post or discuss details of potential entries.

All normal editing rules apply for this contest but the effect must be created in camera, not on the computer. Be sure to save your original unedited photo in case you are asked to provide it as proof of this.

NOTE: Quality will be strictly enforced in this contest. So please bring us your best and don't be offended if your picture is disqualified.
