Zoom In While snapping

This is a shoot technique quite simple to do if you have a DSLR, the effect can simply be done using a zoom lense. such as an 25-70mm focal zoom lens or, any other lenses that allows you to zoom... (you can actually use your compact camera too, i'll show you later how..)
first, get the subject to be still, check the shutter speed to be less than-1/60. the best option is to set it on Shutter Priority mode or 'Tv" mode. and then, focus... while you click the button, at the same time you turn the lens... i mean the change the focal length... lets say youre sooming at 70mm, then decrease the focal length 10 or 20...
erm... if you are using a digital compact which doesnt allow you to zoom using your hands in turning the lens... just move your camera forward about 1-2 feet or when clicking to snap, make sure held the camera close to yourself, and move the camera out while snaping... this will create a moving effect...
there's actually lots of other factors to consider, such as enough lightings, your hand-not shaking, the use of flash to freeze the subject... etc... Yet, if you want me to write it all for you in one simple post, it would be hard. my advice... get your info in the net... its wide open for you... Picture of my friend- Danny- in our Hostel room...
