Zoom effect photography tips

  • First, try to capture an image for correct exposure (read my previous article understanding exposure if you have not yet).
  • Adjust the camera to manual settings (make settings the same just change the shutter speed to slower).
  • Or you can set shutter priority mode and set for slower speed.
  • Point to your object (if it is moving seek it).
  • Try to keep your camera still.
  • Find a good place- more colorful lights around more interesting effect can be.
  • How to choose correct shutter speed- in this particular situation, there are no correct shutter speeds,
  • experiment with different settings.
  • When zooming- try to make it smooth as possible, do not stop while framing in progress.
  • Try both options zoom in and zoom out-you will get the different zooming effect.
