The zoom burst is a simple photographic technique that involves zooming the lens in or out whilst taking a photo. The effect is a blur that radiates outward from the centre of the image, almost as though the scene is 'busting' towards you. This method adds movement and an element of action to your photos, whilst also giving them an abstract quality. Why not give it a try?
