Hi George,
I liked your idea of tilting the camera here and the lights zooming away is a cool touch.

I have a similar photo to this (go to my gallery by clicking on my name and you can't miss which one i'm talking about).

You may want to try my idea (which I haven't tried yet) of zooming the lens while its being exposed. If I get around to doing it I'll upload it. #6411

Hi, Romen! Thanks for the feedback -- I've also thought about zooming during exposure, but have yet to try it (this shot was taken with a hand-held Canon Powershot G2, which doesn't let you zoom while shooting). Would love to see whatever you get on this.

I found that another interesting effect is to set up about 10-15 feet from an open subway door, and then expose for a 1/2 to one second -- the movement of people is almost ghostly.

Thanks! #9308
