I always wanted to do a "focus in" transition, but the slightest touch on the focus ring of a birding lens ruins the footage. It turns out it can be done in post process. ;D

At first I thought what a steady hands you got, for a flawless constant focusing until I read the notes and saw the highlighted "lens blur in post" ;D
