When you zoom in or out during the exposure.

very hard to find something original with this effect. But, its also an opportunity to learn a new technique

It's just not possible with a great many cameras -- it would leave out a lot of people unless you allow digital simulation of the technique, and even that leaves out people without certain software.

nah, they can just hold their camera and run REALLY fast while they are taking the picture.

A great one that was done by zooming during the exposure

Matter of fact Neil does a lot of them and I think they are great

But see, that will give a motion blur and not a true zoom effect.

Some of us don't run too fast anymore, either.

Considering the many challenges we have, can't we have one dedicated to people with SLR's? (hehehe i just got one so im really eager to experiment with it)

Use a bike... ;^)

I love the concept, but Paul is right, it would limit the number of people able to participate - myself included. :(

It's a possibility, but there'd probably then be a demand for a balancing challenge is which you're only allowed to use a P&S camera.

Nothing which says you can't apply the technique to any other challenge topic.

That's true, a P&S vs SLR challenge would allow the ZOOM EFFECT challenge!!!

But is there anything P&S cameras could do that the SLR's Can't???

Fit in your pocket. That's it, we need an "Inside your pocket" challenge.

I don't know about that. Some of those cargo pants have pretty big pockets. But then you'd have to where the waistband at your waist otherwise the pants would be around your ankles due to the weight of the camera.

I really liked this one and thought it would score higher than it did in the challenge. Oh well...
