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. :)

It's called "Dragging the shutter." I use flash set to the first curtain, shitter to about 1 sec - take the photo and move the camera.

Nice job, I always take longer on the shitter.
