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?
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.
Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
