I know you can get from a slow shutter speed, but what is the specific name!? It is not lens flare, as I found out!. I read somewhere that it was some sort of illumination, but is there an official word for it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

As far as I know it's just a slow shutter or long exposure photo!. Light streaks sounds good too!. I don't think it's "official" seeing as how we've covered this in class and there was no mention of any sort of official name for that, but light streaks does seem to cover it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dragging the shutter!. Gets more usage when there're strobes involved, but the terminology applies irrespective of use or lack of a strobe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
