The camera shutter is devised to capture a single moment in
time—a snap that freezes movement and records a split second.
Yet when used over an extended period of time, the whole idea
changes dramatically. One of the most fun experiments you can
do with a long shutter exposure is to create light streaks. This
is somewhat similar to the effect our eyes see when somebody
waves a sparkler through the air. By using this technique to
create light streak resources, we can then use Photoshop to
draw out more complicated elements with those resources.
