  • Tip of the Day: Light Streaks

    You can create exciting streaks of light that appear to be emanating from your subject by twisting the manual zoom ring during a longish (1 second or so) exposure. Wait until dark, then center the subject in front of a cityscape of other display of lights. Use a tripod and zoom smoothly. —Jon Sienkiewicz
