Zoom Burst technique - World's Biggest Cashew Tree

**Otavio** · 10th May 2015, 02:43 AM

During my last trip, I had the opportunity to visit the "Cajueiro de Pirangi". It is the largest cashew tree in the world, listed as such in the Guinness book of records. The tree spreads over a hectare (an entire block) and is an attraction in the city of Pirangi.

Well, inside the cashew tree (I mean, below its branches) it is impossible to take a picture that shows the entire tree, so I could not find an interesting angle for a good shot. Then, when watching a complex maze of branches, I decided to try a zoom burst shot, aiming to produce an unusual shot of the tree and causing sort of an "immersion" effect. I hope you like it. C&C welcomed, as always. Thanks for viewing.

An interesting and impressive effect. It makes a change from panorama stitching or focus stacking.

If you stare at it long enough, it will engulp your mind like those optical illusion images. Interesting Otavio...I like this effect...dizzying (I have to find the right spelling there for a while.

)

Yep, I think dizzying is the proper word for it, Izzie. The same happened to me, when I first looked at it! Regards,

Just try it, Matt! It is easy and you will have a lot of fun with it. Try differrent shutter speeds and manual zoom movements. Just play with it.
