  I like the in camera effects. I have used the zoom technique but how did you do the swirl? Did you just rotate the camera as you were zooming? Love it, Deborah.

  Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments! Hi Emile, yes I rotated the camera while zooming. The 70-200mm lens has a tripod collar, which enables me to rotate the camera while zooming. Easier done that said! :o)
