This isn't a technique I'd usually spend time on.
A photo class assignment was to 'show motion'.
One method is to move a zoom lens in and/or out while the shutter is open.
So much for the psychadelic effect.

I feel like I'm being beamed up by Scotty. Nice effect.
Looks nice but of course you have also a picture with only the train moving. I am curious to see them together.

Isn't this one of your "normal" photos ?

Bob, my normal photos are blurry and out of focus by accident. This was deliberate. :-)
Andy, I've seen some effective use of the technique but it can get gimmicky pretty quick.
s.c. The train comes into the station quite slowly so I didn't have great luck with the moving trains.
Well call me crazy...I LOVE this Wayne!!! Definitely shows movement...the composition and color is fabulous! That's one technique I never learned in my classes!!! I'll have to try it...thanks for sharing!!!
I feel like I am being called to somewhere!
I know what you mean about gimmicky but every once in a while a shot like this is great. No one else will have a shot quite like it!
Is it wrong of me to like it?
Hey, but it's pretty cool. Warp 5, Mr. Scott!
No Lynne, it's not wrong. But it's a little worrying. :-)
I'm so encouraged by al the comments that I've decided this is the only kind of shot I'm going to take from now on. :-)
Ohhh nooo!!!! What have we done???
(I still like it!!!)
Absolutely love the colours and feel of this one Wayne.
Count me in too. I"ve never been able to do this. Wish you could show me.
