This effect describes the slow zoom into a photo, which is often used with sliders to create a little more movement on an otherwise static web page.
This effect can also be recreated with some CSS:
<div class="image-wrap"> <img src="link-to-the-image.jpg"> </div>
.image-wrap { width: 100%; height: 50vw; margin: 0 auto; overflow: hidden; position: relative; } .image-wrap img { width: 100%; animation: move 40s ease; -ms-animation: move 40s ease; -webkit-animation: move 40s ease; -0-animation: move 40s ease; -moz-animation: move 40s ease; position: absolute; } @-webkit-keyframes move { 0% { -webkit-transform-origin: bottom left; -moz-transform-origin: bottom left; -ms-transform-origin: bottom left; -o-transform-origin: bottom left; transform-origin: bottom left; transform: scale(1.0); -ms-transform: scale(1.0); /* IE 9 */ -webkit-transform: scale(1.0); /* Safari and Chrome */ -o-transform: scale(1.0); /* Opera */ -moz-transform: scale(1.0); /* Firefox */ } 100% { transform: scale(1.2); -ms-transform: scale(1.2); /* IE 9 */ -webkit-transform: scale(1.2); /* Safari and Chrome */ -o-transform: scale(1.2); /* Opera */ -moz-transform: scale(1.2); /* Firefox */ } }
