Answer 1

well your going to need a tripod because its reaaaaaaally hard to stand realllyyy still. so you pint at it and leave the shutter open to well about 15 seconds i suppose but if you want more light you can leave it up to 30 seconds.. but it has to be on a manual setting. for example i have a cannon rebel xti i would go to TV setting and leave it for 30 seconds.. and dont move and dont put anny like cellphoen light in the middle..

Use a very low shutter speed, check your camera menu settings to see if you have one. Most digi's do these days.

Awesome photo. Night ones require special tricks and work.

Camera on a tripod, set cameras shutter to "B" and hold the shutter open long enough for a few cars or trucks to drive by ... their tail or headlight will leave a trail.
