 This is just a very basic thing that you can do with a digital SLR, zooming out while shooting a photo. It's a pretty nice feature.

Pretty cool effect. A little TOO cool, now I have to take Pepto-Bismol to relieve my nausea and dizziness I get from looking at this for too long.

The zoom effect can create very interesting images. In this case it gives the required sense of speed. What could possibly give more impact is having the front of the cab in focus.

I actually _feel_ the movement when I look at this on my screen, especially if I glance away and then look back. Very dynamic use of zoom to convey challenge.
