A camera trick and a great concert

A cool camera trick while photographing the combined schools choir

I was taking photos at the Combined Schools Choir concert last week Thursday, when something really cool happened. I made a mistake- and out came a fantastic photograph.

Immediately, I tried to repeat the mistake. No luck. I tried again and again until I could replicate it at will.

I tried it again

By simply zooming out really fast while I was simultaneously taking the photo, it gave the picture a mad crazy zoom effect (The zoom has to be manual. This won’t work with a digital zoom).

I was taken. Still am.

The concert was held at the Celebration Centre and featured just under 500 pupils from 13 Harare Schools. The theme this year was “musica mirabilis est”, meaning “music is beautiful”. The concert drew an audience of over 4,000 people and proceeds from ticket sales (at Z$2,5oo or US$5 a head) will go to the National Musicamp Association and Marondera Child Care Society.

Ok Fungai, you’re saying, great stuff but let’s see some real photos from the event. No problem, I have posted some right here.
