Can you figure this out?

Hogs:
This photo was copied from Instagram. It certainly looks like an image 'zoomed' during exposure with a short barrel twist. However, zoom lines usually radiate from some central area and then to the front and then laterally. These seem to go up and out from the periphery. Am I the only one confused by this?
Thanks,

Is a PP effect.

The first clue lies on the other lights that are static.
The second clue is at the bottom. The effect ends on a straight line as if it was a semi reflective surface yet one can see the picture w/o distortion under the light so artificial effect.

Sorry, but I'm a little confused by someone reposting an image anywhere and simply ignoring the copyright mark which means "do not use this" image. A better choice might have been to link to the image, not illegally take it off the site and repost, even though you had good intent.

Good point. It does seem Copyright means little these days. Though, I think we do have a rule about that on the UHH!

Unfortunately, copyright doesn't mean anything unless the image is registered with the Copyright Office, and even then you can use it for personal use, like a screen saver. You just can't use it for profit.

This 'copyright issue' on this thread neans strictly nothing.

The source was cited. The op does not take credit so nothing to see there.
The existing copyright is still on the image so still nothing there.
Hot link or not the image is still displayed so nothing to see there either.

I am sensitive to copyright but I am not so much so as getting hives if the image source identified and existing copyright not erased.

Getting back to the OP's question, a zoomed lens creates streaks radial FROM THEIR POINT OF ORIGIN, not one central point.

I'm not sure that is true. Besides, here is a quote from the forum rules: - Do not post content or images owned/authored by others without their permission.

Saw this article https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/four-factors/

As far as the question, I'd say motion blur from the Photoshop blur filter gallery or similar.

My guess is that it is a post-processing application, not a zoom blur made in-camera.

Attached is an image I made for one of my clients, a waste managem company. The wanted something to use in an ad about their speedy on-the-spot service. The motion blur is an simple app for my Android based Tablet.

I do hold the copyright for this image, however, I do not post anything that has important or sensitive copyright implications online- especially on Facebook, Instagram or even on this forum. There is little or no control or remedy.

This not a really unique image- after all it's a GARBAGE TRUCK!

I certainly respect the copyright laws and precedents and want to protect my own work and I am careful not to infringe on the rights of others. It is a fact, however, that all photographs, intrinsically, are copyrighted by the photograher whether they are registered or not. In commercial transactions, a photographer can retain all rights, sell the rights to a client's or license usage for limited insertions or publications. For big, important jobs or where exclusivity is important and enforceable, it is wise to register individual photographs or a body of work.

EL Shapiro,
Thank you very much. I agree that it is not a typical zoom and agree that a zoom radiates from a central point. I will explore blur options in my own software to see what I can do.
I would like to say that I considered all the copyright options before sending the image but, in fact, I did not think about it at all. I gave credit to the original image and identified the source and made no pretense about it being my image since I was asking how it was done!

The answer is yes. Zooming took place as well as some lateral movement in a long exposure.

To all,
I experimented with a few things and the attached image is the result. There was no zoom, just a radial blur followed by a layer mask to clean up the blur on the rest of the image away from the tree and on the tree also leaving only the peripheral areas around the tree affected.
I can also do a zoom and clean that up in post as well.
Many thanks for the input and happy holidays.

Not really true, you might want to check with a copyright attorney.

A couple of years back, I saved an article "Your Rights As A Photographer"
that covered a number of topics.
I kept a copy of it in my camera bag for a long time.

Don't know if it is still out there on the WWW or not

The Federal copyright act of 1976 considers that all images are copyrighted from the moment the camera is shuttered.
