I have seen stuff like that done with the zoom.

Wot he said.

Close the aperture, longer exposure, twist-to-zoom...

...but looking at the pantograph maybe it is a 'chop?

I have tried doing this a few times but each time i did it the whole of the pic has the travelling effect, how did he get the tram to stay in focus.

^ That's a nice atmospheric pic as your new sig, TC

- I think that tree trunk adds a lot to the shot.

TC, if you ever work that one out, let me know!

The tram one is indeed a photoshop as I was really pee'd off I couldn't get it done right. Either way, still love it and got the result I wanted.

Here's another one at Sensoji Temple but without any editing

That one at Sensoji Temple is much better in my opinion. The tram pic doesn't look so real.

Personally I'm not a fan of over edited photos, especially unreal skies - It cheats on the very real beauty a natural sky can present and it's the photographer's job to capture that reality... In my opinion.
