I'm interested -- how did you capture it? I see a zoom and a flash, but how did you do the upper left-lower right thing?
Thanks for the interest! There was no flash, but I started out with the shades drawn in the background - that caused the background to do a much more pronounced 'zoom' effect, which was undesireable. Opened the shades to let a lot of light in, which blew the BG out, but elminated most of the zoom blur from it.
As for the other part, I assume you are talking about the text. I had the laptop screen on full brightness, and zoomed pretty far in (~100mm). Then, over the length of the exposure, I zoomed out at a relatively constant rate allowing slightly longer at the beginning and end (to make the beginning/end of the zoom more pronounced).
The effect was pretty neat I thought, perhaps one of you pros here can replicate with better results.
