Into the void at warp speed

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 18, 2010

Pentax K20D
Sigma 10-20 EX DC throughout zoom range
1.5 sec. f11
ISO 200

It's an old photographer's trick -- focusing a zoom lens at full extension on a single Christmas tree light, then quickly zooming backwards to wide angle during the exposure. Makes for a pretty photo that looks as if it was shot from a spaceship entering hyperdrive.
