Overview
The process of the vertigo shot involves the camera moving and zooming at the same time, effectively creating the illusion of things zooming past faster than others. This effect is due to depth of view, where objects further apart are going to be more affected by the range of the camera moving. I used Nikon D3400, a digital camera, to take pictures of my residential area. I started with a set location, chose a subject of focus (an area that stayed constant throughout my pictures), and began moving backwards, while zooming with the camera to ensure the subject stayed relatively in place. As a result, the images show a relatively constant subject, with things like the background changing. The most difficult thing was figuring out how far to move in order to make it a constant change, but at the same time remaining steady enough such that the image stayed relatively in the same location.
