Testing intentional camera movement to get "light trails" "move" from outside in, and letters look like moving outwards.

One second exposure time used, out of which approximately half second still and half moving camera outwards.

Contrasts increased with curves tool on PicMonkey.

That is "unintentional camera movement" (UCM)! =P

The letters and numbers seem to be taking off from the keyboard!
I should really practise more ICM, I have even bought some ND filters which I have never used so far...

And I am planning to write a blog article about ICM and zoom effect especially. Remember, you "draw" with light ;-) So, it is a good idea to think the directions of movement. One needs to have contrast, aka dark background for the "light trails". And even after getting a good shot I stongly recommend enhancing the contrasts still on editor.

Here's another example:

Possible that the "light trails" are moving from outside in. But it looks moore that the letters and sighns are moving from inside out just because of the light traces. Also very tricky, Sami!

Thank you, Klaus.

Yes, that is what I meant, and what the goal was: make it look like letters are moving outwards. I need to correct the caption a little.
