Zoom-Blurring the London Bridge

Here's another quick edit from last night's London Bridge outing in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. In this 25 second exposure, I waited until 15 seconds had passed then slowly began zooming the lens from 24mm toward 105mm. The best part (at least for me) is the "beams of light" effect created on the top of the frame.

Wow, I really like this shot! I've never tried anything like this with my photography yet. I'm still learning things I guess, but I want to try creative shots like this as some point. I don't know if I need to know more about photography before attempting more creative photos, or if I should just jump in and try without really knowing what I'm doing (just following instructions like what you give)...

Wow, this is a fantastic shot, Rich. While the beams at the top are awesome, I'm most impressed with the light seeming passing under the bridge near the center of the frame. Great capture.
