Using a longer shutter speed so the subject moves while the shutter is open allows you to record the trails of light. You need to support the camera though so it doesn't move while the shutter is open. I'll try and get some examples for you over the next few days.

Thank you so much =) I'm sixteen and a very experimental photographer at the moment, I've just got into a photography school and your hints and tips have really helped me to comply my portfolio and just generally learn, which is what I'm trying to do while this is still a (huge) hobbie.

I look forward to seeing your shots on flickr too. Great to see someone experimenting with their camera. macro is usually a setting that allows you to focus on something very close, so I don’t think it’s an aperture control as such, as you can still set the aperture while in macro mode. i think it’s more of focus setting.

Am gonna start experimenting this weekend, following your tips. I noticed something and i don't know if it's true: is the Macro some sort of aperture control ? cause when controling the aperature you control the focus on a subject (could be near or far), while the Macro does almost the same thing for close subjects. Am not a member, but ill open an account right now, and ill start uploading once i get some descent pictures...hehe. Hello and thanks again Garry.

Set the shutter speed to 3 or 5 seconds, and set the aperture to something in the mid range of what it can do. Make sure you focus on the right sort of area so your depth of field is ok. You will probably need to do a little experimentation here to get the exposure right, so keep the shutter the same, and just play with the aperture until you get it spot on. It's digital so you can take loads of picture to experiment! It would be great to see these pictures too, are you a member of Flickr.com so you can upload them?

It worked, i just came back and i tried it. I used 3 to 5 seconds cause i was really close to the scene. but i left the aperture to automatic, cause i didnt really know how to control that, any suggestions ? Thanks for answering Garry, i really appreciate that! Yes yes !
