very kewl pic
it's a pretty easy technique
follow the subject (in this case SOFA) with the camera
ie. keep it in the viewfinder while it moves
and take the pic when the subject is at the desired angle from u
normally directly opposite u
(this will maximize the effect)
depending on shutterspeed (and this will vary depending on the speed of
your subject, and lighting, and f-stop, and, and, and, u need to play
around with these things) the subject will be in sharp focus and the
backround will streak as in the example of SOFA posted above
if u keep the camera stationary, the backround will remain in focus and
the subject will streak, suggesting speed in another way
normally better for taking a pic of a group of riders
another way to get a simmilar effect, but this time from the front, is
to get a camera with a manual zoom lens
the longer the zoom the better
with a pretty pedestrian shutter speed and the zoom-collar on the lens
pushed fully forward, centre the subject and start sliding the
zoom-collar towards the body of the camera as smoothly as possible
about one third of the way thru, click the shutter without interrupting
the zooming action
the result is a pic where the streaky backround seems to radiate from
the subject
varying the speed of the manual zooming action will change the degree of
streaking
i'm sure there must he 100's of ways of generating these, and more
impressive, effects using a variety of software
that's the way we did it in my day...
