Today I am sharing a few long exposure zoom burst photograph that took me quite some time to create.

These are all different angles and frames from the Bulgarian Parliament in the central part of the capital city, Sofia.

If you wonder what "zoom burst" is, Wikipedia has a rather too short explanation ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_burst

Short, but it's enough to properly describe this favorite technique.

Yes, it is not available with all type of lenses ;)

Let me also share the metadata for these pictures below each one.

Such images take a lot of experimenting to achieve the result I'd like to see ;)

Hope you enjoy these! :)
