A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi everyone. I am an amauter photographer and lately I've been requested to photograph some local concerts at my city. The image linked above is one of my many inspirations, and I am very curious about this light trail technique. Is it done right at the time, is it edited later? How? If someone could help me, I'd be very thankful. :)

Everyone else has given great advice, but I'll add: if you're new at shooting concerts and new at playing with light, I'd aim to get comfortable shooting concerts first before you blow much time/energy on trying to replicate this. Especially if you're limited to 3 songs which is the standard for large shows -- that time goes REAL fast.
