Digital Photography Tip: Use long exposure to show motion

Times Square. ISO 100, 2/3 second, f/8, no flash
If you want to make something look like it's moving in a still picture, use a long time exposure. I did this in Times Square, and look what happened. The car on the left looks like it was going 60 mph, but it's obviously parked. You can tell from its front wheels. The taillight streaks behind it are from another car that you don't see because it wasn't in one place long enough. That's sort of like the 2nd guy from the left - you can't see his head because he moved it too much. Even though these guys are waiting for the light, they are still moving around which lets you see right through them. Pretty cool - sort of like xray vision.
