I was walking home after meeting some friends and decided to fool around with the camera a bit. Since it was dark out I figured I’d see what I could make happen with some slow shutter speeds. Since the shutter is open for so long, moving objects will appear blurred or smeared as they move across the camera’s field of vision. I like car lights done this way, so I gave it a try. This was handheld (no tripod and plenty of chances I’d breathe and shake the camera), and many of them came out surprisingly well. I could do better with a more intersting surrounding or better cars or whatever, but the effect itself is pretty cool.
