I saw your picture. Why do you find it interesting?

Actually, there is nothing intersting about the pic...It's just that I never knew that my digi cam was able to take this type of photo...(where the vehicle's light can drag so long.) I was just excited that I found out things that I never knew. As I am new to taking intersting pic using digi cam, so hope you guys would bare with me. I am still learning. Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with finding out what your camera can do. However, I feel that you can still learn to operate your camera while conveying an idea instead of just shooting for the sake of shooting. The camera is not only a box full of buttons but is a tool to help capture a vision. By identifying a vision/an idea, you can then learn to apply the necessary techniques to successfully capture it. Isn't that more productive?

About the vehicle light trail, its a fairly common technique and can be achieved by any decent camera with a longer shutter speed. So in this case, you have to decide what are you actually telling with the light trail. Is the light trail too short?
